Draw the basic body before adding clothes. Add muscles, eye details, ears and hair to your drawing. Add a triangular chin and mouth area to the bottom of the face circle. Teen Gohan's eyes are small dark circles with large eyebrows and no distinction between the iris and the cornea. The forehead is large, with the eyes and ears drawn near the bottom of the face circle. The hair style of Teen Gohan is short and spiky, almost like his father Goku, with the right side being just regular short hair. Follow the basic shapes created in Step 1, and use the eraser to clean up your work. Refer to your reference picture of Teen Gohan.
