This guide shows how to draw Dana from The Loud House in 18 steps. Dana is a minor character, but her design has several outfit details that make the drawing moderately complex. The striped shirt, skirt, and tall boots all need consistent proportions to keep the final result clean.
Dana’s Main Features
- Hair: long brunette tied into a small ponytail, with bangs covering part of her forehead.
- Face: fair-skinned with a rounded cartoon style, small nose, and earrings visible on both ears.
- Outfit: long-sleeved striped shirt (lavender and white) with an off-shoulder style, and a black undershirt.
- Skirt: short and plain, worn above the knees.
- Socks: long lavender socks reaching above the knees.
- Shoes: brown leather boots with heels and lace details.
- Accessories: small red earrings on both ears.
- Body type: tall and slim, keeping in line with The Loud House’s design style.
There’s also a second Dana drawing I posted earlier, with a straight, side-looking pose; and after this one, you can also try sketching Lori Loud, Leni Loud, Lincoln Loud and Ronnie Anne to round out a small The Loud House set.
Step Color Guide
- Red Color: shows the current step you’re working on.
- Black Color: shows the lines you’ve already completed.
- Grey Color: shows the initial sketch for proportions.
By step 18, you’ll have a complete Dana drawing that matches her appearance from the show.
Now that you know how to draw Let’s Draw Dana, try setting the guide aside for a couple of days and then redrawing her from scratch. You’ll be surprised how much more naturally the lines come the second time around, and any tricky spots will stick better with that little gap. New guides for Loud House characters and plenty of others keep showing up on SketchOk’s Pinterest, and video versions of some guides make their way onto the YouTube channel over time, so it’s worth checking back.
