  • Step 3: Bisect the circle horizontally and vertically so the circle has quadrants , keep it light
  • Step 4: Draw 2 circular ovals above the horizontal line, but let them touch the line as well, but make sure that the circles touch the vertical line at at least one point also
  • Step 5: Draw smaller circles inside the old circles, you can place them anywhere in the eye.
  • Step 6: Then draw a very small circle inside the iris, preferably draw it in the top right side of the iris, shade in everything in the medium sized circle, except for the small circle you just drew.
  • Step 7: Draw a tuft of hair on the top part of the head, just draw lines in every direction, but keep them a medium- small size, if you want you can change the hair to your liking
  • Step 8: On the vertical line, draw a small circle near the bottom, for the mouth and shade it in
  • Step 9: On the horizontal line, draw an oval on both sides of the face for the ears, preferably make them smallish
  • Step 10: Above the eyes, draw curved lines that are as long as the diameter of the eye, for the eye brows, to display expression
  • Step 11: Where the 2 guide lines intersect draw a small semi- circle that points upward for the nose
  • Step 12: Under the eyes, draw a line or 2 that go out toward the ears, make them small and medium- thick, they should look like cheek bones, they should touch the eyes or at least be near them
