Pencil Drawing Of A Fairy

The only requirement when you do a pencil drawing of a fairy is to make her look tiny and mystical.

Just to add something different to the page, I have drawn a fairy butterfly! They are always cute.

When I do pencil drawings of fairies, I visualize what I want to see in my drawing. That would be things like: a flowing skirt, long hair, wings, a wand, and something from nature.

Ok, let's get started on the first drawing of a fairy.

Here is an outline of a fairy for you to practice with.

Drawing the body is not the easiest of tasks. She still has to be in proportion.

As usual, I have lots of trouble with drawing faces.

So, for this outline, I have turned the fairy away. You can draw her smelling flowers or kissing a butterfly.

To assist you with your drawing, think up a story first.

On this page, I show only fairy sketches, the backgrounds are entirely up to your imagination.

If you have formatted a story, the background will come easily to you.

Imagining Fairies

In this pencil drawing of a fairy, I think I've managed to make her look like a little princess.

We have established that fairies are tiny. So, do you imagine they are living amongst flowers?

If you are looking for an idea on what to draw, you can draw your favorite flower and put the fairy on a petal.

Fairies were introduced to us as children. I remember experiencing a special feeling of wonder whenever I read or was told a story about fairies.

It was a whole other world that I created in my mind. And, like most children, I loved being visited by the tooth fairy!

The other nice thing about fairy stories is that they always ended "happily ever after." No violence, no nastiness, they are beautiful and peaceful.

Oh, okay, I will admit that I still love fairies!

A fairy tale doesn't always have fairies involved. Most fairy tales contain a lesson to be learned and always give a sense of hope.

To get more ideas for drawing fairies, you can refer to photos of your children. Copy the innocent pose, create your fairy and then create your fantasy background.

To show you what's possible when you keep trying to draw, here are some of my first attempts at fairy drawings plus a sketch of a fairy which was done more recently.

This fairy hasn't yet attained the beauty of a more mature fairy. She has to prove herself by doing good deeds and then she will blossom into a beautiful fairy.

Try to create a magical illusion in your pencil drawings of fairies. You can draw tall blades of grass around her or maybe have her riding a butterfly.

Don't forget, fairies steal your treasures, so you can put those items in your drawings as well.

Play around until you are satisfied with your pencil drawing of a fairy. If you are erasing too much, it's a good idea to start another drawing - you second attempt will always be a better version than the first one.

Good luck and may the good fairy shine on you!
