CAT BODY
The Sphinx is a cat with a human head. Since it is a fantasy creature you can change things to fit your own ideas.

The basic sitting cat shape starts as two large circles connected by two lines, one for the back and one for the chest. The head starts out as a circle, it is a little forward. The forearms are longer than a normal cat's legs and start out as rectangles. Use a guideline to keep the bottom even.

After you have the basic shape worked out then add the roundness of the muscles.

The back hip juts upward a little.

The tail wraps up in front of the back leg: it is two sweeping lines that taper closer together to end at the bushy bit of fur.

FACE
The face is a person. Use guidelines to keep the face balanced, one up and down the middle to place the ear, one halfway from the top of the head to the chin for the eyes, one halfway from the eyes for the nose and one halfway from the nose to the chin for the mouth.  The nose is straight.

HEADDRESS
The headdress has a front and a back. There is a line down the middle to the shoulder for the edge between the front and the back. Don't give it too many stripes or it will look messy, 16 at the most- eight on the top head to the shoulder and eight on the chest covering.

DETAILS
The paws have three toes showing, draw them as straight lines.

Draw Cleopatra Queen of Egypt Worksheet

How to draw Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt drawing lesson and printable worksheet.

This is a fun drawing project that is both rewarding and enjoyable. It's especially rewarding when you show it to someone and they say, "I know who that is!"The Worksheet below may be printed for personal use.

There are a lot of things you can do with the portrait of Cleopatra, since her crown sometimes covered the sides of her head, or sometimes went up high.

How To Draw The Face Of Cleopatra Worksheet.

If you have problems printing the worksheet, see the How to Print tab above for some helpful tips.


You can print the project notes below, too.

BEGINNING STEPS
Start with a basic oval or egg shape for the head. User reference lines to place the features evenly. One reference line down the middle helps to keep things from getting too right or left. The eyes are halfway between the top of the head and the chin. The nose is halfway from the eyes to the chin, and the mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin. The ears are no higher than the eyes and no lower than the moth.

Get the face right before you start the hair, crown, or jewelry.

EYES
The eyes had heavy makeup but don't put it in until you have the eyes looking good first.  They arch over the top and are slightly curved on the bottom. The eyebrow is as long as the eye. The eyes are about as far apart as they are wide. So if the eyes are two inches wide, the space between them should also be two inches.

NOSE
Keep the nose simple. It is more shadow and shape, and there are not many lines.

MOUTH
The width of the mouth reaches to the pupil of the eyes. Her lips are full, and the top lip is more shadow than the bottom lip, and the bottom lip has a shadow underneath.

FUN STUFF
Save the fun stuff for last, like the crown, the snake in the crown, the hooped earrings, and the braided hair. The crown is part of a golden feathered headdress that sweeps out to the sides. Draw some guidelines first, so it doesn't get messy.

Add a shadow to give her more realism.

How To Draw A Butterfly Fairy Kneeling Worksheet

How to draw a butterfly fairy kneeling, drawing lesson, and printable worksheet.

This is a nice project that can turn out very well if you take your time. The kneeling figure can apply to any person not just the fairy. The free printable worksheet below may be printed for personal use, just highlight and save or send to your printer.

How to draw a Butterfly Fairy Kneeling.

To print the worksheet just highlight it and send it to our printer or save to your device to print later. If you have problems printing see the how to print tab above for help.

You may want to print the project notes below, too.

A GOOD BEGINNING
There is a balance point for all standing (or kneeling) figures. Use a light line up and down to keep the image logically balanced.

Use an articulated stick figure to begin your design. Then fill out the form using curved lines to make the figure. Since it is a fantasy creature who is to say that they have long limbs or short ones or if they have two arms or four? Have fun.

HEAD
The head is turned downward, this changes everything from a face straight on. There will be little or no neck showing because it is hidden by the chin. The eyes are much lower, and the nose, mouth and chin seem to be right on top of each other.

You may want to practice or work out the details on a separate piece of paper.

Keep the details simple.
     * Just draw downward curved lines for the eyes
     * Draw upward-pointing lines for the eyebrows.
     * The cheeks are curved outward since she is smiling.
     * The nose is a shadow shaped like a slight "V",
     * The mouth is a short slightly curved line.
     * The chin is a wide point.

HAIR
Use long black hair as part of her clothing if you like. It is tangled and curvy.

HANDS
One hand is seen from the side. The thumb is behind the hand closest to her chest. Keep it simple.
The other hand is upturned and the butterfly is in the palm. The thumb is outward and the fingers tilt down for effect.

CLOTHING
I gave her a grass skirt and let the long hair cover her to express modesty.

BUTTERFLY WINGS.
Do the wings by going back and forth on each side so both wings match.

If you can trace through your paper it is a good idea to design the wings on a separate paper and then trace them on to your project that way they are even. There is a large upper wing and a long triangle lower wing on each side.

BEGINNING
Start with some circles that are all the same size and one oval for interest. (Draw these lightly so you can erase them later.) In the center, draw a light circle.

FORM
There are four petals like a cross; they are like narrow hearts, draw them inside the circles. Draw the top one first, then the bottom one next, then one on the left and the one on the right last; that way, they are even. Don't try to make them perfect or the same because, in nature, nothing is perfect; some are twisted or wilted.

BRANCHES AND LEAVES
The branches are curved from above; they go down and up under the flowers. Draw two lines, one for each side.

The leaves are teardrop-shaped in twos and come off of their own little branches. Put some leaves behind the flowers for realism.

In the center are a lot of little dots sticking up.

SHADING
Shade the area around the flower so it the only thing left white or color their ping. The leaves are bright green, and the branches are red-brown.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

The hardest part is deciding on a pose. I suggest making several rough quick sketches to get your ideas worked out.

ANATOMY
This dragon is a lizard with a long neck and wings. The lizard has elbows that point backward and knees that point forward. Draw a stick figure of the bones and then use curved lines to work out the flesh. The head is a wedge-like triangle, with a few extra lines for the jaw. The neck and tail are long like a snake.

The head is a wedge shape with a little extra narrow box-like shape underneath for the jaw. 

Add circles and ovals to shape the legs so they look muscular. Then trace around them.

WINGS
The wings are folded and lying down like a stretched-out cloth; use long graceful lines to draw them.

The back wing is just a shadow shape. 

FEET AND CLAWS
Keep the feet and claws simple. Draw circles and lines for the knuckles and bones, then draw around them the shape of the feet. The claws are curved slightly.

DETAILS
Add details carefully; the teeth and claws are triangles. The scales are dashes or dots that go in rows. The head may have horns, feathers, or a frill. Add some shadow for roundness.

Put him on a bed of golden treasure, bones, or crystals. Put him in a cave or an old broken-down castle.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

Start with the top clouds. They will be the largest.

The bottoms are flat. Draw as a few straight lines.

The tops are lots of circles bunched together. Go over the top edges of the circles to give the cloud shape. Put some inside not just on the tops.

Draw the clouds below the top ones. These are farther away and will have smaller circles and shapes.  Have some of the clouds go up and behind the first ones you did.

The smallest clouds will be the ones near the horizon. Put some peeking up over the distant mountains.

Draw some clouds off the side of the picture for interest and to let people know the scene goes beyond the view.

BEGINNINGS
The head is shaped like an egg but tilted to the left at the bottom. Do not draw the hat or clothing until you have a good beginning on the face.

Mark off your proportions:
     * The eye is halfway down the face.
     * The bottom of the nose is halfway from the eye to the chin.
     * The mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin.
     * The ear is almost in the center.

STYLE
Use straight choppy lines where ever possible when adding detail since it will give him a rugged look.

DETAILS TO THE FACE
The nose is hawk-like, so it sticks out and down like a rectangle.
There is a ridge on most faces over the eye, and the top of the nose is back under the ridge.

The mouth is simple; The upper lip is a line from the nose down and slightly out and then back, and it curves down for the frown. The lower lip is a half-circle that connects the upper lip and the chin. The chin is straight lines.

The eye is squinting. The top lid is arched, the bottom goes straight across from the nose and then curves up a little at the edge closest to the ear.

The ear is simple, with a few curved lines.

The hair is a mess, so draw a lot of curly shapes.

Put some shadow under the eye for bags and put wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Put a shadow under the cheekbone and use dots on the upper lip like a mustache.

Lastly, draw the hat, coat, overcoat, and wool scarf.

In the center of each circle, draw five lines like a star, then connect the lines into a lead. Put a circle dot in the center of the star, at the edge of the circle where the star points, draw a little arrow mark. On each side of the arrow, mark draw a curved line going down repeat the pattern all the way around the circle. Shade in the inside of the star but keep the dotted white. It doesn't need to be perfect since the edges are ruffled.

The leaves are thin like short blades of grass and are crossed in opposite directions. Put shadows between the leaves.
