Step 3: Defining the Head Shape

Sketching the head outline, ears, and hairline for cartoon Steph Curry

Draw 'C' shaped ears on the sides and connect them with a scalloped line for the hairline. Tip: Make the hair look natural by drawing short, quick strokes rather than one solid line.

Step 4: Neck and Shoulders

Drawing the neck and broad shoulders of the cartoon basketball player

Draw two sturdy lines down from the chin for the neck, then curve them out to form the shoulders. Tip: Keep the shoulders wide to give your character a strong, athletic build.

Step 5: The Basketball and Arm

Adding the arm and a circular basketball to the Steph Curry sketch

Extend one arm outward and draw a circle for the basketball. Tip: Don't worry if the circle isn't perfect; basketballs are slightly squashed when held!

Step 6: Victory Gesture

Sketching a hand making a V-for-victory sign

Draw the fingers of the other hand in a 'V' shape. Tip: Use overlapping curved lines to make the fingers look like they are bending naturally.

Step 7: Drawing the Jersey

Drawing the jersey torso and neckline for the cartoon character

Sketch the rectangular shape of the torso and add the neckband of the jersey. Tip: Keep your lines smooth to represent the fabric of a sports uniform.

Step 8: Adding Muscle and Ball Detail

Adding muscle definition and basketball texture lines

Add small curved lines to define the chest and arm muscles, and draw the lines on the basketball. Tip: Use light pressure for muscle lines so they look subtle.

Step 9: Final Touches

Adding the number 30 to the jersey for the final outline

Draw the number '30' on the jersey. Tip: Make the numbers bold and centered to ensure they stand out clearly.
