Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Smiling Portrait

A smiling Belle from Beauty and the Beast fills this head-and-shoulders portrait. Her head tilts a little to one side, and she has big round eyes with long lashes and parted lips. Her hair is pulled into a rounded bun on top, with wavy strands swept back from a center part. Long wavy locks fall over both shoulders, and one thick lock curls down the front. She wears small round earrings and an off-the-shoulder dress with a ruffled edge and a little cluster of beads at the center of the neckline. The large open areas of skin and hair are easy for small hands. Try coloring the hair in a few shades of brown, using lighter and darker tones on the wavy strands to show the flow. This free printable also works well for a talk about how artists shade hair.
