Draw the face: In the middle of the head, sketch out the nose and place small circles on each side for glasses. Draw a small line below the mouth for the chin.

Sketch the body: From the bottom of the head, draw two vertical lines going down curving slightly outward. Draw these lines wider apart at the bottom than at the top to form a bell shape. Add the arms to the character and then place the legs and add the shoes. Add some accessories to give a funnier look.

When you’re finished, ink your character and give the final look.
