How to draw Moana Vayaliki from the cartoon?

Before you draw Moana from the cartoon, a little acquaintance with the brief plot of the cartoon. The heroine lives her whole life on the island with her father, the leader of the Tui tribe. She decides on a dangerous journey and leaves the island.

How, then, to draw Moana? To do this, follow the step-by-step steps, and you will also need the following stationery:

• paper;
• a simple pencil;
• eraser;
• colour pencils.

Phase sketching

First, with a pencil, we will sketch. Do not press on the pencil hard. We need light, weak shapes, because it is easy to make a mistake, and thick lines are erased heavily.

1. Let's start drawing the heroine from the head. Draw a small circle at the top of the sheet. This will be the head of Moana. To do this, first outline 4 small marks, which indicate the approximate height and width of the future head. Then connect the marks with a smooth line forming a circle. It should not be flat, but slightly elongated, in the form of an oval.
2. We draw a small curved line under the circle, which will show the chin of the heroine. Do not draw this line too low, because Moana has a small chin.
3. Draw two curved lines inside the circle: vertical and horizontal. This will help determine the location of the eyes, nose and mouth. After we remove them.
4. Draw a curved line to the right of the head. It will be an ear.
5. Draw two lines under the head - the base of the neck.
6. We outline the shoulders and upper body of the character. We draw a large triangle, as the base of the body of the heroine. It should reach the middle of the sheet and resemble the Latin letter V.
7. We draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the triangle, and then draw from both ends of the line to the middle of the triangle. This will be the bottom of the body of Moana.
8. To the left and right of the body we add arms that are bent at the elbows.
9. Draw two diagonal lines below the body. This will be the designation of the legs.

So we finished our sketch. Now we start drawing details.

Facial features

1. We draw two ovals inside the head above the horizontal line, outlining the eyelashes. In this case, the eye on the right will be larger than the eye on the left - this is a perspective. Inside the eye we make a small circle in which we draw another circle and shade it. It will be a pupil.
2. Draw eyebrows above the eyes - two curved lines.
3. Draw a nose along the vertical line.
4. We outline the length of the mouth along the bottom line. And then we denote the lips.

Detailing clothes and body

1. Below the neck on Moana’s chest, draw a circle and attach it with a chain of circles to the neck. This will be her necklace.
2. We start to draw hands. We take and outline the right frame of the hand, remembering that it is bent and fingers are gathered into a fist.
3. After along the borders of the triangle we draw the top of the heroine, drawing the folds of fabric and a loincloth.
4. Draw the left hand, keeping the main line in the center.
5. Draw Moana’s fluttering hair, marking her bangs just below the head line.
6. We will fully draw the skirt of Moana, which will fall just below the knees.
7. Draw on the frame bare feet of the heroine. Do not forget about finger drawing.

8. We take a thicker pencil or felt-tip pen, we outline all the main lines of Moana's outlines, and we erase the excess auxiliary lines with an eraser. We will no longer need them.

Sketch coloring

After we have identified the main lines, we continue our drawing. How to draw Moana in color? You need to prepare colored pencils, and then just follow these steps:

1. We start with the skin. Since the heroine has a dark complexion, we use various shades of brown. To begin with, a beige pencil we tint all skin.
2. In dark brown we draw a shadow on the skin of the arms, legs, neck, face and abdomen.
3. Using other shades of brown, we immediately draw the hair, eyebrows and pupils of the eyes.
4. Hair can be dyed both in dark brown and black.
5. Red pencil mark the top and bandage, as well as the lips of Moana.
6. We note the amulet in blue.
7. Draw a pattern on the skirt with a yellow pencil.
8. Add brown and orange shades to the details of the skirt.
9. We shade the rest of the skirt with a beige or gray pencil.
10. Add some shadows to Moana’s clothes.
11. The figure of Moana is ready. You can make a background yourself. For example, draw grass with green pencils below, and sky above with blue pencils. The drawing is done.
