Draw a perfect circle with a vertical line down the middle of it and then two horizontal lines. The first line will be in the middle of the circle but it should not touch the edges. Draw the second line just above the first so that it is wider than the first but also not touching the circle.

Define the eyes, ears and mouth and add spots over the face. There should be a large concentration of spots at the top of the head and on the cheeks. Erase original lines.
