Step 1

First, create the character using simple shapes that are colored in white and surrounded by a black outline. Then, apply a few plain colors to make the whole thing more enjoyable to look at. It doesn't really matters if the illustration looks funny right now.

Step 2

Once you are finished, use the gradient tool and apply a few basic fills on shapes that are selected in red. All shapes must be darker on the bottom except for the legs and the tail.

Step 3

Create a few circles to represent the reflections on the pupils and the eyes. Once it is done, add one more circle behind each eye to create a black patch.

Step 4

Finally, create a few shadows on the feet using a white shape. You can also apply transparency on the bottom of your shape for a greater effect. For the nose, use a light grey shadow and you can also make the bottom transparent. Nice job! You now have a nice sheep cartoon filled with great shadows and nice reflections.
