Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Start the Head and Eyes
Draw a tall domed head, two overlapping hair arcs, and a short zigzag side hairline. Add large eyes with dot pupils, an ear with inner curves, and the back neck.
Pro Tip: Leave the lower right eye edge open for the nose.
Step 2: Complete the Nose and Mouth
Draw a rounded projecting nose and a broad curved muzzle below. Add the smile, mouth corner, short cheek marks, and front neck line.
Pro Tip: Let the muzzle extend farther right than the eyes.
Step 3: Draw the Collar and Sleeves
Draw two folded collar sections around a V-shaped neckline. Add a rounded short sleeve on each side below the collar.
Pro Tip: Make the left sleeve wider to suit the turned pose.
Step 4: Add the Torso and Arms
Curve the shirt front outward and join it to a broad lower hem. Extend arms from both sleeves, finishing with rounded fingers and thumbs.
Pro Tip: Let the hands hang just below the shirt hem.
Step 5: Outline the Trousers
Draw two broad trouser legs below the shirt and hands. Add a short central crotch curve and an angled crease near the right hip.
Pro Tip: Keep the trouser hems broad and gently rounded.
Step 6: Finish the Shoes
Draw a wide rounded shoe beneath each trouser leg. Add a narrow sole line following the bottom of each shoe.
Pro Tip: Keep the shoes low and broad for a stable stance.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
