Bringing fictional characters to life on paper is a rewarding experience. Today, we’ll embark on an artistic journey to sketch the vivacious Briar Beauty, a central figure from the universe of Ever After High. Every pencil stroke will inch you closer to capturing the essence of this next-generation Sleeping Beauty.
Character Insights: What Makes Briar Beauty Stand Out
- Signature Look: Embodying the spirit of a princess, Briar’s appearance is an impeccable blend of elegance and youthful charm.
- Height and Structure: Distinguished by her tall stature, even when factoring in her super-high heels, her physique is regal.
- Hair: Cascading long dark brown locks with pink streaks make her instantly recognizable.
- Eyes: Her soft light brown eyes exude warmth and kindness.
- Outfits: From her dresses with rose motifs to her rose sunglasses resembling a crown, the rose-flower theme is predominant.
Drawing a character as intricate as Briar requires attention to these details. If you’re looking to expand your Ever After High collection, consider sketching her close friends Apple White, Blondie Lockes, or even her roommate Ashlynn Ella. These characters share a deep bond and would beautifully complement your Briar Beauty artwork.

This guide offers 19 steps in total, commencing with crafting the basic sketch. Once you reach the end, there’s an option to ink your drawing. If you decide to ink, patience is key. Wait for the ink to dry thoroughly before erasing the underlying pencil marks. This ensures clarity and prevents smudging. Though colors aren’t our main focus, the final image does present a colored rendition of Briar Beauty, acting as a reference for those eager to add hues.
