Step-By-Step Images and Instructions
1.
Start by taking a brown pen, and drawing a circle shape in the center of your page – leave a slight gap in the left edge.
2.
Next, add a “bump” in the gap, with a small mark beside this.
3.
Add another curly line to the left, creating an adorable curl for your infant…
4.
And then add two curves below this for eyebrows.
5.
Just below the curved brows, add two “v” shaped, filled in in the center, for eyes.
6.
Add a mark below this for the nose, and then a large semicircle below this for a smiling mouth. Fill in most of the mouth, leaving a small section at the bottom white.
7.
Next, bring a curved line across to the right below the ear, and then bring down two vertical, parallel lines.
8.
At the edge of the left line, draw a large “crescent moon” shape, and add two “inward bumps” to the right of this.
9.
From the bottom “bump”, bring a reversed “C” shape across for a leg, and add a small foot to the back.
10.
11.
Connect the legs, arms, and bottom of the head with a curved line.
12.
Bring another arm out above the first, stretching out to the right.
13.
Add another wide, thin shape in front of the hands…
14.
Add shorter sections to the top of this, ending in a small circle at the very top.
15.
Now for color! Use a blue pen for the diaper at the back of the baby…
16.
And then use a pink pen for the bottom stripe of the toy, the inner ears, and the rosy cheeks.
17.
Fill in the second layer with a yellow pen…
18.
And follow this with a blue pen for the third section.
19.
Finally, use a red pen for the circle at the top.
20.
Now, grab an orange pencil and use this to shade the main body of the baby.
And there we have it, a precious cherub, ready to reach for his favorite toy!
