Today I will show you how to draw Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid movie. She is a beautiful red-headed mermaid who falls in love with a prince. She then wishes for legs and lands up marrying the prince. This tutorial will guide you thru the steps with easy-to-follow instructions that I will guide you thru with basic geometric shapes, letters, and numbers.

Ariel ewas my favorite princess but I was picky about her hair color so she turned into my least favorite. After drawing this, she is now my favorite. A few requests, could you draw the little girls from despicable me? The adopted ones? I forgot their names but I think you would know. Love the work. Thanks for all the tutorials.❤️❤️❤️ Million star website
