Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Chin and ears
Start at the left with a little curl for an ear. Draw a smooth, rounded curve along the bottom of the face for the cheeks and chin, and end with a small curl for the other ear.
Step 3: Hair
Draw a wide, rounded cap of hair above the face. Dip the bottom edge into a point in the middle for the bangs, then fill the hair in.
Step 4: Body and arms
Under the head, draw a soft body with a short arm curving out on each side. Finish with two rounded legs at the bottom, with a small gap between them.
Step 5: Second chin and ears
Next to the first friend, draw a second curved line for the cheeks and chin, starting right beside the first ear. End it with a small curl for the other ear.
Step 6: Second hair
Draw a rounded cap of hair above the second face, with a point in the middle for the bangs. Fill it in.
Step 7: Second body and arms
Draw a soft body under the second head, with an arm curving out on each side. The inside arm reaches toward the first friend. Add two rounded legs at the bottom.
Step 8: Shorts and hands
Draw a short, straight line across the top of each leg to show where the shorts end. Then add a tiny bump in the middle where the two friends' hands meet.
Step 9: Eyes
Draw two round dots for the eyes on each face. Keep them the same size and at the same height.
Step 10: Happy smiles
Under the eyes, draw a small curved smile like a little cup on each face.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.
