To establish her proportions effectively, lightly draw guidelines on your paper or in your digital workspace, using your preferred method:

  1. Draw a vertical line for the center of her body.
  2. Mark two equal divisions above the center line for her head.
  3. Divide the remaining space into three equal sections for her body.

Sketching the Basic Structure

Using the guidelines you've established, begin sketching the basic shapes and forms:

AD
  1. Sketch a simple oval forHello Kitty's head, placed between the two upper divisions.
  2. Draw a small, curved rectangle for her body, below the center line.
  3. Add two small ovals for her hands, at the bottom of her body.

For digital artists, use tools like the shape tools or the pen tool to create these basic shapes precisely. Remember, these initial sketches should be light and erasable, as you'll refine them later.

Drawing Hello Kitty's Details

Now that the basic structure is in place, it's time to add details, refine shapes, and give your Hello Kitty drawing personality. We'll focus on capturing her iconic features and incorporating graduation elements.

Refining the Head and Face

Using your HB pencil, trace over your initial head oval, refining its shape and proportions. Then, follow these steps for Hello Kitty's face:

AD
  1. Draw a small, red heart-shape bow on top of her head, with a narrow, curved line connecting it to her chin.
  2. Add almond-shaped eyes, with a small circle inside each for her pupils.
  3. Sketch a small, curved line for her mouth, with two tiny, upward-pointing triangles on each side for her whiskers.
  4. Create tiny, half-oval shapes for her small, round ears.

For digital artists, use appropriate brushes and tools to replicate these features and maintain the simplicity of Hello Kitty's design.

Graduation Attire: Cap and Gown

  1. Draw a curved, square-like shape for her graduation cap, with the peak pointing upwards. Position it slightly above her head, rested on her bow.
  2. Add a small, circular tassel at the peak of the cap.
  3. Create a simple, curved rectangle for her gown, attaching it at the neckline and flowing down to her feet.
  4. Sketch two diagonally-opposite rectangular shapes for her gown's sleeves, with the ends slightly rounded.

For added detail, you can also draw toppings like the words "Bachelor" or "Master" on her cap or add a small, flowing graduation scroll to her hand.
