Instructions

    • 1

      Decide if you want to draw an entire caveman's body or just the face. If you are drawing the face, begin by drawing the nose. If the body, begin by drawing the head.

    • 2

      Draw a line behind the nose to be the base of the beginning of the beard. Draw two half circles on this line for the eyes. Draw in the pupils.

    • 3

      Draw another line through the half circles, in the middle of them. This will be the caveman's eyelids.

    • 4

      Draw another tall half circle starting on near the top of the eyelids to make the forehead.

    • 5

      Add the mouth just below the nose. Add ears just to the left and right of the eyes.

    • 6

      Draw hair by drawing wavy lines around the edge of the caveman's ears, forehead, and eyes. This will be the hair. Continue the wavy line around the bottom of his face if you wish to give him a beard.

    • 7

      Add details to the face and color his eyes, mouth, and hair whatever color you want.

Tips & Warnings

  • Drawing on a flat surface will help to ensure the lines you draw go where you want them to.

  • Use a light pencil and press lightly for the initial drawing so you can erase mistakes easily.

  • If you make a lot of mistakes when drawing your first lines, make sure you use a pencil and not a pen to erase any mistakes.

  • Don't get frustrated when you first begin drawing; becoming proficient at drawing takes time, just like any other skill.
