How to Draw a Mother For Mothers Day

Step 1.


Start off by creating the shapes for the mother and child. These are the head guides as you can see. Sketch in the facial guidelines as well as the body guide for the baby.

Step 2.


Next, using the head guide you made you will begin to form the actual shape of the Mother's face. Be sure to include the little bubble shape for her earring. Use the facial guidelines to draw in the closed eyes, her lashes and then the eyebrows. The

Step 4.


We will now continue to draw in the hair and then work on drawing the outlining of the mother's torso.

Step 5.


Draw the additions to create her arm and hands, then draw in the shape of the baby's body which is wrapped in a cozy blanket. Don't forget to frame the opening for the baby's face as well.

Step 6.


Now you can add the line for the shirt collar and then draw the crinkle and wrinkle lines for the baby's blanket. You will also draw in the sleeping baby's face.

Step 7.


Lastly, add a shape for the mother's lower half of the body before cutting the drawing off. This should be a rounded shape. Erase any mistakes you might have made along with the guidelines.

Step 8.


Now that your drawing of a mother is all cleaned up. You can proceed to color in the art and even add a nice quote to create a card. I hope you liked this lesson to help celebrate Mother's Day and one of the most important people in your life.

Description: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the mothers out there and even the soon to be ones. I know I haven't been around in the past few days, but I have been super swamped with some projects that I needed to get done. But, not to worry because I have a bunch of lessons to upload that will hopefully keep you folks occupied for the days to come. I will start by showing you all how to draw a mother for mother's day, step by step. This is a nice simple design that is suitable for the creation of a Mother's Day card or just a drawing to show your mom how much you love and appreciate her. I had fun making this concept because I thought of my own mother and how she always tried to show us as much love as she possibly could. I do hope you have fun with drawing a Mother. I will be back with some other exciting lessons in a bit so stay tuned in.
