3
Draw two round shapes for the eyes, each having a smaller round or dot (for the pupil), just above the nose. The eyes can be in the shape of
- 2 large circles
- ovals
- a curvy "M", like the one in "Mc Donalds".
4
Draw the mouth just below the nose, draw any one from the list given below. To make the mouth look funnier, add teeth by either drawing a straight horizontal line across the mouth and several vertical lines (forming a grid with 2 rows and many columns), or small squares sticking out inside the mouth from the upper side (roof of the mouth).
- a large U-shaped curve
- a triangle (preferably right-angled one)
- an oval or circle
- a rectangle
- a straight line
5
Add other "extra fittings" like ears (in cartoons, ears are considered 'extra'), hat, collar, hair, wrinkles, etc.
6
Your picture is ready! If you want, you can also colour the picture with different, funky shades.

Draw a long oval behind the head (leave space for his head to show through) and then draw a smaller half circle or a curved triangle on the top of the oval.
