How to Draw Hermione Granger
This guide on how to draw Hermione Granger was created for Harry Potter fans who want to sketch one of the book’s most iconic characters.
How to Draw Hermione Granger: Introduction
I have prepared a new lesson for you, in which I will show you how to draw Hermione Granger. This is one of the heroines of the Harry Potter novel, or rather, a close friend of the protagonist. Hermione is a Hogwarts school student, a talented sorceress. She is a fair and courageous girl who is always ready to help her friends.
Hermione has good looks. She has long blonde hair and cute features. In this tutorial, Hermione has a cartoonish look. In the picture you can see that Hermione’s head is larger than her torso, her arms and legs are small, her hair is lush and curly, her facial features are minimally expressed, however, Hermione is easily recognizable.
Here is the easiest way to draw this character, and it is very similar in style with my previous Harry Potter drawing tutorial. You can easily draw Hermione, even if you have not had to do it before. Be careful at every stage of your drawing and use my tips.

How to Draw Hermione Granger
- Illustrate the head and torso.
Sketch a large rounded shape for Hermione’s head and a smaller, longer oval for her body. When I teach kids how to draw a figure in this style, I always remind them to leave extra room for the hair above the head shape, since it will make her curly hair look more natural later.
- Draw Hermione Granger’s face details.
Inside the head shape, lightly sketch the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. In this style, the eyes should be large and round, taking up a good portion of the face. Draw a small upward curve for the mouth. If you’ve drawn anime-style faces before, the proportions here will feel familiar.
- Sketch the outline of the hair.
Around the head, sketch the outline of Hermione’s hair. Start with the bangs, creating short, slightly uneven strands across her forehead. Then draw the large, rounded shape of her hair framing her face. Remember, Hermione is known for her full, curly hair, so let the outline be simple but wavy.
- Draw Hermione Granger’s robe shape.
From the bottom of the head down to the lower part of the body shape, draw the outline of Hermione’s robe. Then draw the neckline and the inner part of her shirt, which will later be part of the Hogwarts uniform. When we illustrate robes or coats, I often tell students to think of them as long triangles that flare at the bottom.
- Sketch the arm and wand.
On the right side, draw Hermione Granger’s arm extended forward, holding a wand. The wand should be straight and slightly longer than her forearm. On Hermione’s left side, draw the arm hanging more naturally. If you want to illustrate a different pose, you can angle the arms or wand in a different way.
- Sketch the sweater and skirt pleats.
Sketch the sweater and skirt under the robe by adding a series of vertical lines to illustrate pleats. The skirt should flare outward. When sketching a character in a school uniform, I always remind students to keep the skirt length consistent. It should end about halfway between the waist and knees for this style.
- Illustrate Hermione Granger legs and socks.
Now, draw Hermione Granger’s legs as simple, straight shapes ending in small, rounded shoes. Add two horizontal lines across each leg to represent socks. When I teach how to draw a figure like this, I suggest comparing the leg length to the head height to maintain proportions.
- Draw over with clear lines.
Now, use smooth, confident strokes to trace your Hermione Granger drawing, keeping the outer edges slightly thicker than the inner details. Erase any unnecessary sketch lines from earlier steps. When I guide students through outlining, I always recommend starting from the top and working downward.
- Fill your artwork with color.
Color Hermione’s hair in light brown. You can adding slightly darker shades to make it look more realistic. Her robe should be dark gray or black, with a red and yellow striped tie for Gryffindor. The skirt can be a medium gray, the socks white, and the shoes black. The wand is usually brown.
Simple Hermione Granger Drawing Tutorial
Let’s try another version and draw Hermione Granger in a more simplified style. The proportions are smaller and the colors are more saturated. The sequence of steps is also changed, so we start with the head and hair before moving to the body and small details.
Create the outline of the hair, using wavy lines to form the rounded shape. Add the bangs in short, pointed sections, then sketch the curved line for the lower part of the face. Draw Hermione Granger’s short neck and the collar of the scarf. Add the simple rectangular torso, then the short skirt and shoes.
Draw the scarf’s vertical section in front and add a small rectangle to create the Gryffindor logo. Place the eyes as small circles, add a curved smile, and finish with the scarf’s horizontal stripes. Go over the lines to keep them neat, erase extra marks, and color the hair orange-brown, the robe black, and the scarf in orange and dark gray.
