How To Draw Ariel From The Little Mermaid

Hello again everybody and welcome to DragoArt. Today I will be showing you how to draw Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I know a lot of other sites have her image as a tutorial but I love her. I think she is pretty, sweet, and kind. She also holds a sort of sadness that makes her even more likeable. Before I get into the details on showing you how to draw Ariel I want to talk about her a bit. I’m sure everyone has seen the Disney movie right? Well if you haven’t than I will give you a quick drive by on who she is, what her dreams are, and how the fairytale ends. First she is the youngest out of all her sisters and her father is King Triton ruler of the sea. Ariel if you haven’t guest is a mermaid and she is only 16 years old. She dreams of life out of the sea and what it would be like living amongst humans walking their streets and dancing to their songs. Her best friend is a flounder named Flounder and he loves Ariel and will do anything for her. The two often go on adventures looking for sunken ships to uncover odd objects left behind like forks, spoons, pipes, and other unique things she has never seen or touched before. Of course when she finds her trinkets and gadgets she needs to know what they are so what does she do, she travels above the surface and shows her findings to a seagull named Scuttle. Even though he has no idea what he is talking about he manages to conjure up a definition for everything that Ariel brings his way. Of course her father King Triton wants nothing to do with her mingling with humans. He believes that they are harpooning fish eaters and they will just harm his daughter. He is very protective of her and only wants the best for all his children. Ariel refuses to listen to her dad and takes off. Triton asks his loyal assistant Sebastian to follow Ariel and watch were she goes and what she does. While Ariel sobs in her hidden cave she notices fireworks above the sea, and of course she is curious to see what is going on. As she submerges out of the water she climbs aboard a ship and looks and sees Prince Eric, a handsome strapping young man that she instantly falls in love with. Eventually the ship catches fire and explodes leaving Prince Eric floating in the water. Ariel wasn’t about to let him drown no matter what her father says. She rescues him and brings him to shore and sings just enough for him to remember her voice. Ariel makes a decision that she will be with her prince one day no matter what. As she returns to the sea she is in a happy mood and only Flounder and Sebastian know why. Sebastian is the small red crab that does Triton’s bidding. Eventually the king finds out that she saved a human and she loved him because of this he is furious and punishes her by destroying all her trinkets that she collected over the years. Ursula the sea witch finds out that Ariel is in love with a prince so she offers to turn her into a human for three days and she will stay that way if she can get the prince to kiss her. They both find each other and eventually destroy Ursula and unite. King Triton gives in to his daughters loving need and transforms her into a human for good. This tutorial will show you how easy it is to draw Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
