Instructions

1. 

   Create the skeletal guideline. Draw the face with a large oval. Add the belly with a large oval attached to the head. Create the ears with two small circles at the top of the head. Add the arms with simple lines. Mark out the elbows with small circles. Add the hands with circles on the end of the arms. Add the legs with two parallel vertical lines.

2. 

   Draw a vertical slightly curved line to the left third of the face. Add a horizontal line to the top third of the face. Add a small horizontal dash to the middle of the vertical line for a nose guideline. Add a small guideline underneath the nose for the mouth. Flesh out the arms with parallel lines around the arm guidelines.

3. 

   Draw in the details on the skeletal frame. Add the nose with an upside down triangle on the nose guideline. Add the eyes with small ovals on the top horizontal line. Draw the smile by adding a curved line to the mouth guideline. At the end of this line, add a small curved line for dimples. Make Pooh's mouth open by drawing a small curved line to the bottom of the mouth. Inside this draw a small semicircle for the tongue.

4. 

   Add eyebrows with diagonally pointing triangles. Draw the shirt with a curved line across the middle of the belly. Add the sleeves with rectangular shapes at the top of the arms. Erase all of the guidelines. Add fur to the Winnie the Pooh's belly with a jagged, curved line down the middle of his stomach.

5. 

   Ink the entire drawing. Let the ink dry and carefully erase all of the pencil lines. Darken in the nose, eyes, mouth and eyebrows. Add a reverse L-shaped line to the top of Pooh's nose. Create wrinkles in Pooh's shirt with two long and thin sideways U shapes.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to let the ink dry before erasing the pencil lines or the ink will smudge.
