"Hi. I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to learn how to draw characters. Okay now that we have done some examples of the stuff you put on faces almost like Mr. Potato Head. We actually have to draw the head to put them on. So we're going to give you some examples of long, short, fat, round and funny faces. So I might start with a really long oval face and then I will incorporate maybe this ear into that head. And I'll come down here and take this ear and kind of add it there and make this jaw really long and stretch it out. Okay. So now that I have that I can take the squinty eyes that we did before and just add them in there. And then I might take this really long nose and drop it all the way down. And then maybe he's got a really small mustache. And then he's got this really small mouth. The he's got a dimple on his chin. But he has a big curly afro. And I'll just bring the hair all the way out. And then I'll add some eyebrows. And then I can draw a cheek bone. And then if I'm going to do that. That's the man with the big hair."
