How to Draw a Wedge of Cheese · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Front side and bottom
Start at the top left and draw a short line down, then a long flat line across the bottom. Now draw a long line from the top of the left side, slanting gently up to the right.
Step 2: Slanted top and right side
From the left corner, draw a long slanted line going up to the right until it reaches a rounded peak. Then come straight down to meet the end of the bottom line.
Step 3: Mouse head
On the slanted edge, draw a half circle for the top of a little mouse head. Then draw a short curved line down the left side so it touches the cheese edge.
Step 4: Round mouse ears
Draw a small round ear on each side of the head, just above the head line. Let each ear touch the head so it looks attached.
Step 5: Holes and mouse eye
Draw a tiny dot for the mouse's eye. Then draw small rings for holes: one on the slanted top, one near the top right, one on the right side, and a big one near the bottom right.
Step 6: Happy face
On the front, draw two small dots for eyes with a little curved smile between them. Add a small oval on each side for cheeks, plus one tiny ring hole at the far left.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

- Draw the mouse head after the cheese wedge, so you know where the slanted edge will meet it.
