Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Establishing the Eyes

Pencil sketch showing two ovals for eye sockets with curved brow lines above.

Draw two ovals for the eye sockets and place a circle inside each. Sketch light, curved lines above the eyes to act as the brow ridge. Teacher's Tip: Keep these ovals symmetrical to ensure the face looks balanced from the start.

Step 2: Defining the Gaze

Drawing pupils inside the eye sockets and adding small dashes for skin texture.

Add a pupil in the center of each eye. Surround the eyes with small dashes to suggest texture, then draw curved lines underneath to form the lower lids. Tip: Use a light touch for the dashes so they look like subtle skin folds.

Step 3: Sketching the Nose and Mouth

Adding the nose structure and a crooked mouth line to the face sketch.

Draw a horizontal loop for the nose, framed by two vertical loops. For the mouth, use an uneven, wavy line with a curve underneath. Add more dashes between the eyes to create depth. Tip: The uneven mouth line gives him that classic, slightly crooked smirk.

Step 4: Refining the Mouth

Detailing the lips with an M-shape and adding lines for facial structure.

Outline the mouth using a rounded M-shape for the upper lip and a curve for the lower. Sketch small lines around the nose and mouth area to add realism. Tip: These small lines help define the facial muscles.

Step 5: Shaping the Head and Ears

Outlining the head shape, chin, and ears on the drawing.

Draw a leaning oval above the face for the hair/hood. Add a loop for the chin, outline the face with wide curves, and add small loops for the ears. Tip: Ensure the chin is rounded to give him that doll-like appearance.

Step 6: Adding the Collar

Drawing the collar and neck details to complete the head structure.

Add detail lines above the eyes and inside the ears. Draw two curved lines for the collar, connecting them to form a tube, and use straight lines to finish the neck. Tip: The collar adds a nice sense of volume to the character.

Step 7: Sketching the Hair

Adding jagged hair shapes and shoulder outlines to the drawing.

Draw swooping curves above the face to represent hair. On the left, add jagged triangles that look like flames. Add triangles for the shoulders. Tip: Use loose, flowing strokes for the hair to make it look natural.

Step 8: Completing the Hairline

Completing the hair outline on the right side of the head.

Repeat the previous step for the right side of the hair. Sketch curves around the hairline to connect everything. Tip: Make sure the hair looks messy—it adds to the character's personality!

Step 9: Adding Texture

Adding texture lines to the hair for a finished look.

Add more lines throughout the hair to create texture and volume. Tip: Vary the length of your lines to make the hair look more realistic and less like a solid block.

Step 10: Final Outline and Color

Outline your drawing with a black pen. Use tan for the skin, orange for the hair, blue for the eyes, and red for the shirt. Tip: Use light pressure with your colored pencils to blend colors smoothly.
