How to Draw Domo-Kun · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Left ear and side
Start with a small curve for a round ear on the left, and keep going down the left side of the body. Then curve out into a rounded arm that ends in a little hook near the bottom.
Step 2: Top, right ear and side
Draw a gently curved line across the top of the head, starting at the left ear and ending in a round ear on the right. Then curve down the right side and out into a matching rounded arm.
Step 3: Legs and feet
Under each arm, draw a line straight down and curve it into a round foot. Join the two feet with a short, flat line in the middle.
Step 4: The two eyes
In the upper middle of the body, draw two small round dots, one on each side. Fill them in.
Step 5: The big mouth
Under the eyes, draw a wide, rounded shape like a bowl. Make the top fairly flat and the bottom curved.
Step 6: Nose and zigzag teeth
Draw a tiny oval nose between the eyes, a little lower down. Inside the top of the mouth, draw a zigzag line of pointy teeth, with a longer fang at each end.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Domo-kun
- Draw the two ears about the same size so he looks balanced. If one comes out bigger, make the other match.
- The mouth is the trickiest part, so draw a wide bowl first and keep the top flatter than the bottom. Leave room above it for the eyes and nose.
- For the teeth, draw a row of small mountains going up and down, and add a longer fang at each end. Pencil them lightly first so you can fix the points.

How do I make my Domo-kun look cuter?
Keep the body round and chubby, and put the eyes wide apart. A small nose and short stubby arms make him look extra cuddly.
