    Draw a basic stick person with a big round head. Then put some clothes on him and make his arms and legs a little rounder than just a line. Then draw the face, and add the three lines for hair. Draw big feet and add accessories.

  • Did you see how the feet was drawn? It's not like the way kids draw it, side on! It's drawn at an angle for you to see and know that it points towards you, keep note of that when drawing characters.

  • Now that you know how to draw a simple character, make different features so that it's a different character, so for example: one with a really wide brim hat, maybe a dress with two yellow flowers on the side - or maybe one with black sunglasses, a beard and a mohawk.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

  • Okay, just make sure you don't try to make this stuff your own, like you started all this, because it takes money to copyright something, so to be on the safe side, just share it.
