The basic form of the Genie.
Create the basic frame of the torso using a large upside-down triangle shape. Make this shape wide at the top and then thin and wavy at the bottom to create the characteristic "smoke body" of the Genie. Add the head with a large oval shape on top of the chest. - 2
Arms can be made with simple lines.
Draw the guidelines for the arms with two curved lines coming off the upper right and left side of the chest. Add hands with oval shapes. Draw a cross or "T" shape cross the face to block out where the facial details will go. - 3
Cylinders will thicken the frame.
Add cylinders to the upper and lower arms to thicken the frame. Draw ovals for the eyes on the horizontal line of the facial guideline. Draw the eyebrows with sideways teardrop shaped lines. Add the nose with a slightly diagonal "V" shape. Create the mouth with a curved line under the nose and add the lower lip with another curved line below the mouth. - 4
Create the facial details on the guideline
Add the pointy ears of the genie with two triangular shapes coming from the left and right side of the head. Add the goatee with two lines across the upper lip and coming down to the chin. Add a spiral onto the bottom of the chin. - 5
Create the hair on the Genie.
Draw the hair with a band at the top of the head attached to a thin, flattened question mark shape. This shape should come to a small point at the end. - 6
Add the characteristic arm bands with curved lines.
Draw parallel lines around the arms and add the arm bands with two curved lines across each wrist. Draw the waist sash with a band across the waist. Ink all of the lines you wish to keep. Let the ink dry and carefully erase the pencils. - 7
Coloring the Genie will bring this character to life.
Color the illustration using art markers. Use blue for the skin, yellow for the arm bands, black for the hair and red for the sash.
