How to Draw a Cartoon Boy in Four Simple Steps

A cartoon boy drawing doesn't have to be hard, even for people who are not extremely artistic In a few simple steps, you can be on your way to illustrating your own comic book about this mischievous

cartoon boy Grab your pencil and eraser, and let's get to it!

Step 1 - The Base

For the head, start with a curved line on the top From the top left

corner, curve a line down toward the center of the face area Do the same thing on the right side Make a tiny 'U' shaped bump between the two sides of the face to create the chin

The body will basically be an upside down cone, with the top cut off at the neckline and the bottom of the cone curved slightly and uneven Below that, draw what appears to be a skirt - we'll address how to make

it look cooler for this cartoon in the next step

Step 2 - Clothes, Face and Legs

The two legs are going to resemble peg legs that a pirate would have, both shorter than the skirt we just drew and pretty thin, unless you are drawing a fat cartoon boy!

Next, we'll address the skirt shape Draw a line straight up the middle about 3/4 of the way, and add a miniature 'T' top to it At the bottom of the line, make a small, narrow upside down 'V' and erase the pencil line connecting the two legs of a pair of shorts between the points

On the body, draw an arc to create the neck and collar line Sleeves will

be similar in shape to the body, only smaller and angled out at about 30 degrees, but still touching the body Erase the pencil lines from the top

of the body cone about 1/3 the way down to

connect the sleeves

For eyes, draw two small circles set wide apart

halfway down the sides of the face and add thick

eyebrows at odd angles for personality The nose

is a small arc in the center of the face, on top of a

banana-shaped mouth

Step 3 - Arms and Shoes

Start with two very short lines coming out of the sleeves, at the same angle, only skinnier Then, reverse the angle and draw two more lines

in toward the top of the shorts, getting narrower as you go

Drawing shoes for your cartoon boy aren't difficult - the right foot is facing forward and is little more than a blob resembling a rectangle, while the left foot faces out as a long rectangle with an arc dipping across the top Two rectangles - one long and one wide Don't forget to create The cargo pocket for your cartoon boy's pants This again uses rectangles as the base with a circle for the button, and a line down the middle for a little extra detail He's starting to look cool - let's wrap this

up in the next step

Step 4 - Finishing Touches

To make the ears use a 'C' shapes on both sides of the cartoon boy head

Start the hair by creating a line of waves from left to right The biggest wave should be on the left getting smaller and smaller to the right

Then, curve two lines up from the ears - to meet the wave line you just drew

Cut out pockets for the hands at slants on the sides of the shorts to add more flair
