Step 1: Draw a kidney-bean shape for the body, and add the head shape. Sketch in two ear shapes, one like a skinny football and the other like a boomerang.
Step 2: Draw the inner ear shapes, remembering that one ear is bent down. Add shapes for two arms and a small cloud shape for the tail.
Step 3: Draw ovals for the eyes, a triangle for the nose, and a shape for the teeth. Put in shapes for the legs and feet.
Step 4: Draw ovals inside the eyes for the pupils. Add curved lines for details on the eyebrows, ears, mouth, and teeth. Sketch a tuft of hair on the head. Finish with more details on the arms and legs.
Step 5: Trace lines you want to keep with a felt-tip pen, and erase any extra lines.
