Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start with a ever so slightly curve for the top of his head.

  2. Step 2

    On the left side draw a short straight line coming down from the top of his head. Then make an ear by drawing a "G" shape. Repeat on the right side with a reverse "G" shape.

  3. Step 3

    After the ear is drawn, draw a staright line down,(a little longer than from the top of his head to his ear). Repeat on the other side. Then connect the two sides with a curve bottom line which will make up his chin.

  4. Step 4

    Now that his head is drawn, draw a left eye starting at the same height as the top of the ear. It should be somewhat triangle shaped with the point of the triangle near the outside and the large part towards the center of the head. Repeat for the right eye.

  5. Step 5

    Add the eyeballs, putting a curve line inside the triangle on each side adding a dot in the middle.

  6. Step 6

    Add the nose starting between the eyes coming down towards the middle of the head and flaring out on each side.

  7. Step 7

    Below the nose draw the lips. These two lips together should form an oval.

  8. Step 8

    Add an eyebrow above each eye and two age lines in the forehead.
