Welcome!
A Victorian era book of 3 fairytales
There are so many wonderful How-To Draw practice sheets and tutorials, I want to share a few today.
I chose the theme “FAIRYTALES” because it’s a theme I love!
George MacDonald wrote some great fairytales.
Check his books out!
Think about where you want your scene to be.
Outside? Inside?
Castle streets or forest woodlands?
Top of a mountain or even underground?
“Have I made myself clear?”
- Baloo, the Bear, Jungle Book
Get out some scratch paper to practice on, and a nice pencil and an eraser. You can even use old envelopes or the back of junk mail for scratch paper!
A nice castle how-to. Here’s another one:
Think about what ‘story’ you want to tell.
Will it be all in one picture?
Will you draw more than 1 scene to tell your story?
Next we have a nice dragon. You can draw him fierce, sweet, angry, happy...lots of emotions to play with.

When you are comfortable with drawing your dragon, start playing around with eyebrows.
This is a simple and clear way to express emotions!
I think I will start drawing the characters now.
Here are a few different variations of Kings, Princes,
and even a knight!
All 3 are from www.ActivityVillage.co.uk
Here are a couple more:

Every King needs a Queen, so here are a couple of queens or princesses.
Both of these are from Lovetodrawthings.com
Let’s switch out the princess’s hair!

Shall we add a different crown?These could also fit the King/Prince.
Now I think we should add in more animals to the scene for interest.
A frog...
A mouse...
And a couple of unicorns!WooJr.com posted on Pinterest You might need a wizard or two for your fairytale,
so here are a couple to learn how to draw.
The more you practice, the better you will get.
Does your King have a pet goose?
Does the Princess have a pet rooster that follows her everywhere?
Does the Queen carry a hedgehog to dinner?
Let’s give our scene some fillers like grass, flowers, mushrooms, trees...

Looks like we have lots of things to learn how to draw, and tell a story. To finish, we must have a fairy!
Another cute how-to by Lovetodrawthings.com
I think that’s it for today!
Look online for ‘how-to-draw’ and I think you will find lots more to inspire you. Be sure to check some books out too, I have seen several on Amazon.
And then share! Everyone would like to see your drawings! Just leave me a note/photo in the comments section.
Be sure to give someone an unexpected compliment today! These days, we all need a bit of encouragement.
‘Til next time,
