Step-by-Step Drawing Guide on How to Draw Mother and Child
Step 1: Draw the Mom’s Hair
At the top, start by sketching a large curved reversed “C” shape for the mom’s hair. Add another smaller curved “C” inside it to create her forehead hair. 😊
Step 2: Add Her Face
Draw a curved “C” line starting from the forehead hair to form the side of the face. Add a small “c” for the ear and complete the face with smooth, gentle curves. 🌸
Step 3: Start Drawing the Child’s Head
Now sketch the top of the child’s head tucked below the mom’s chin. Use a soft curved line to show the child’s hair. ✨
Step 4: Complete the Child’s Head and Hair
Finish drawing the child’s hair, ears, and face with smooth, rounded lines. Make the shapes soft and cute. 😊
Step 5: Draw the Eyes and Smile on Mom
Add downward-facing closed eyes using curved lines, then add small eyebrows, a little “c” for the nose, and a sweet smiling mouth. Draw her round hair bun on top and tiny studs on her ears. 🌸
Step 6: Draw the Child’s Face
Repeat the same face style for the child: closed curved eyes, tiny smile, nose, and little eyebrows. ✨
Step 7: Draw the Heart Behind Them
Now draw a big heart behind the mom and child. This surrounds them with love and adds warmth to your drawing. 😊
Step 8: Draw the Mom’s Arm Hugging the Child
Add the mom’s arm wrapping gently around the child. Use soft, curved lines to make it feel cozy and loving. 🌸
Step 9: Add the Child’s Arm Hugging Back
Draw the child’s small arm hugging the mom back. Then sketch their shoulders and upper bodies using simple lines. ✨
Step 10: Draw a Flower and Tiny Hearts
In the child’s hand, draw a cute flower with 5 to 6 petals. Add a few small hearts around the drawing to complete the loving vibe. 😊
Step 11: Add “I LOVE YOU MOM” Text
Write “I LOVE YOU MOM” in big bubble letters below the drawing. This adds a special message to your art. 🌸
