Step 16: Now learn how to draw Leela's lips. Draw a curved line around Leela's teeth to create her lips. The top lip dips down in the middle a bit, and the bottom lip overlaps the left guide line for the neck.

Step 17: Now darken the guide lines for Leela's neck. Draw a small curved line on top of Leela's head where her ponytail meets her head. This will create the hair tie that holds her hair together.

Step 18: That’s it! You now have a nice sketch of Leela, the captain of the Planet Express ship from the animated TV cartoon series Futurama. You can stop at this quick drawing for a rough, sketchy look or go for a more finished look by continuing to the step below.

Step 19: For a more finished, inked look, carefully draw over the final sketch lines with a pen or marker. Wait for the ink to dry, and then get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser. You now have a finished inked drawing of Leela from Matt Groening's Futurama! You can stop here or go to the final step to complete your Leela drawing.

Final Step: For a completely finished Leela drawing, you have to color it. You can use markers, color pencils or even crayons! Color Leela's hair purple and her hair tie black. Her skin is peach, but if you don’t have peach, improvise and use yellow-orange or light brown. Experiment! Her lips are pink. That’s it! You have now learned how to draw Turanga Leela from Futurama.
