How to draw Elsa from Frozen: step-by-step guide

If you need a quick overview we've broken down the steps below with a few time stamps if you need them.

1. Start with a circle and draw a horizontal line with another below - this gives you your outline
2. Put a line, not in the centre, but slightly left vertically (this is your centre line)
3. Now we add her eyes - add them between the lines you drew. She has almond shaped eyes!
4. Draw her eyebrows on your top line
5. Add her nose in - it's like a diamond. Draw it in about an eye height below the bottom horizontal line
6. Add her mouth lined up with the centre line under her nose - use a V shape
7. Draw in Elsa's eyelashes - it's like a plane that sits on top of the eye
8. Draw in her bottom lids, think of her as smiling!
9. Draw in her pupil and iris - Wayne shows this 10 minutes in
10. Follow your guidelines to draw in the bottom and top lip
11. Add a cheek line (16:32)
12. Now draw her jaw line (17:40)
13. Add her ears (18) and hair (18:35)
14. Draw her braid (20)

All done! Now you can give Elsa a change of outfit - whether that's the Let it Go icy dress or her new Frozen 2 Enchanted Wood costume. Who knows she may have another outfit soon, as Frozen 3 isn't off the table...
