Start with a tall, bent triangle shape for the wizard hat. Add a wide curved brim underneath, keeping both ends softly pointed.

Pro Tip: Let the hat tip bend slightly to one side to make the wizard hat feel more lively.

Step 2: Add the Face and Ears

Draw a large curved arc under the brim to form the wizard’s face. Add small curved ears on both sides, letting them peek out below the brim.

Pro Tip: Keep the face curve tucked behind the brim so the layers look clear.

Step 3: Draw the Cute Expression

Add two round eyes on the face, with small circles inside for highlights. Then draw short eyebrows, a tiny nose, and a smiling mouth to make the wizard look friendly.

Pro Tip: Keep both eyes a similar size so the expression feels balanced.

Step 4: Add the Collar and Body Outline

Draw two curved collar shapes under the face, spreading like soft petals. Then bring the robe lines down from both sides of the collar, keeping the bottom open for now.

Pro Tip: Let the two collar curves meet near the center to help the body stay balanced.

Step 5: Complete the Robe and Small Hands

Extend the robe lines downward and connect them with a curved bottom edge to form a wide hem. Add two small hands and visible feet to make the wizard’s body feel complete.

Pro Tip: Make the robe hem a little wider than the shoulders so the wizard looks steady.

Add a curved staff beside the wizard’s right hand, letting it stretch upward from the hand. Draw a curled decorative shape at the top to give it a magical feeling.

Pro Tip: Keep the staff close to the hand so it looks like the wizard is really holding it.
