Before you draw Moana from the cartoon, let's get acquainted with the short plot of the cartoon. The heroine lives all her life on the island with her father, the leader of the Tui tribe. She decides on a dangerous journey and leaves the island.

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

• sheet of paper;
• simple pencil;
• eraser;
• colored pencils.

Step by step sketching

To begin with, we will make a sketch with a pencil. Do not press hard on the pencil. We want light, faint outlines because it's easy to make a mistake and thick lines are hard to erase.

1. Let's start drawing the heroine from the head. Draw a small circle at the top of the sheet. This will be Moana's head. To do this, first we outline 4 small marks, which denote the approximate height and width of the future head. Then we connect the marks with a smooth line forming a circle. It should not be even, but slightly elongated, in the form of an oval.
2. Let's drawa small curved line under the circle that will show the heroine's chin. Don't draw this line too low as Moana has a small chin.
3. Let's draw two curved lines inside the circle: vertical and horizontal. This will help determine the location of the eyes, nose, and mouth. We will delete them afterwards.
4. Let's draw a curved line to the right of the head. This will be the ear.
5. Draw two lines under the head - the base of the neck.
6. Outline the shoulders and upper body of the character. We draw a large triangle as the base of the heroine's body. It should reach the middle of the sheet and resemble the Latin letter V.
7. Let's draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the triangle, and then draw a line from both ends of it to the middle of the triangle. This will be Moana's lower torso.
8. To the left and right of the body 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 let's start drawing the details.

Detailing facial features

1. Draw two ovals inside the head from the top of 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 perspective. Inside the eye we make a small circle, in which we draw another circle and shade it. This will be the pupil.
2. Draw eyebrows above the eyes - two curved lines.
3. Let's draw a nose along a vertical line.
4. Let's outline the length of the mouth along the bottom line. And then mark the lips.

Detailing clothing 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. Starting to draw hands. We take and outline the right frame of the hand, remembering that it is bent and the fingers are gathered into a fist.
3. After along the borders of the triangle, draw the top of the heroine, drawing the folds of the fabric and the loincloth.
4. Let's draw the left hand, keeping the main line in the center.
5. Let's draw Moana's flowing hair, indicating her bangs just below the line of the head.
6. Let's draw the full skirt of Moana, which will fall just below the knees.
7. Let's draw the heroine's bare feet on the frame. Let's not forget about drawing the fingers.

8. We take a bolder pencil or felt-tip pen, outline all the main lines of the outlines of Moana, and erase the extra, auxiliary lines with an eraser. We won't need them anymore.

Sketch coloring

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

1. Starting with the skin. Since the heroine is dark-skinned, we use different shades of brown. To begin with, we tint the entire skin with a beige pencil.
2. Dark brown draw a shadow on the skin of the arms, legs, neck, face and abdomen.
3. With other shadesbrown color we immediately draw the hair, eyebrows and pupils of the eyes.
4. Hair can be dyed either dark brown or black.
5. With a red pencil, mark the top and bandage, as well as Moana's lips.
6. Let's mark the amulet in blue.
7. Let's draw a pattern on the skirt with a yellow pencil.
8. Let's add brown and orange tones to the details of the skirt.
9. Shading the rest of the skirt with a beige or gray pencil.
10. Let's add shadows to Moana's clothes.
11. Moana's figure is ready. You can make your own background. For example, draw grass from below with green pencils, and blue from above - the sky. Drawing done.

So we learned how to draw a cartoon character. Now you can tell your little siblings how to draw Moana quickly and easily.
