Step 2

The hair is sketch with several curved lines. The arms are made from small rectangles. The legs are also made from small rectangles and the shoes are created using circles.

Inside the pupils, you can draw small oval shapes. These shapes are illustrating the effect of lighting inside the pupils. The nose and the mouth are made from curved lines.
