BEGINNINGS
Start with an articulated stick figure, that is kind of an advanced stick figure with joints for the shoulders, hips, knees elbows. etc. Draw lightly so you can erase later. Pose the figure with the near leg raised, and the near shoulder lowered with the arm extended across to tap the tambourine on the other side. Use the stick figure to work out the position of the arms and legs.
DEVELOPING FORM
After you have her posed then go around the stick figure to draw the contours of the arms and legs.
FACE
Keep the face simple. Use guidelines to keep things even. She is turned 1/3rd away so you see more of one side of her face than the far side. The eyes are halfway down from the top of the head to the chin. Just use a couple of curved lines to give her a look of concentration. The nose is only a line starting at the eyebrow and going down at a curve and ending with a dash for the shadow underneath. The mouth his just a dash for the upper lip and a short dash for the shadow under the lower lip.
HANDS
Think of the hands as mittens and don't worry about drawing every finger unless you have a very large drawing.
CLOTHING
The clothing is loose and flowing use lines to show the curves of the cloth.
DETAILS
Draw lots of jewelry with big earrings, necklaces bracelets, and chains. Do not forget the Emerald on the chain around her neck that is where she gets her name. Draw circles for the coins that are sewn into the edge of her dress and shawl. The Gypsies would wear a headscarf that covered much of their hair.
