Step 1: Sketch a peanut-shaped body. Use a heart-shaped figure on its side for the head. Draw two short lines for the neck. To show the leg bent under the body, use a long U-shape attached to an oval by a short straight line.

Connect the leg to an oval foot with two straight lines. Form two long U-shapes for the leg bent back. Overlap an oval for the other foot.

Step 2: Draw headphones with curves and a partial circle. Place a curve and V-shapes around the headphones. Use a curved ear pad on your left. For an eyebrow and nose, form a question mark.

Use curves and U-shapes for the nostril, mouth, and eyes. Draw curves for shoulders and arms. Add oval hands. Define the clothes with U-shapes and lines. Connect curves for each boot top. In the lower boot, draw a Y-shape.

Step 3: Texture the hair with curves. Add comma-shaped eyebrows, curved V-shaped eyelids, and teardrop-shaped eyelashes. Extend the mouth and cheeks with Y-shapes. Add curves for the teeth, tongue, and lip.

Draw a U-shaped collar. Form the sleeves with lines and ovals. Outline the arms and fingers with curves and V-shapes. Add folds to the boots with short lines. Draw the skates with ovals, U-shapes, and straight lines.

Step 4: Shape the headphones with curves. Place an oval in one ear pad and a curve in the other. Draw musical notes. Form the receiver’s cord as a curved tube. Show the receiver as a rounded square and oval.

Put a circle and rectangle on it. Draw a curlicue on one elbow. Use curved lines for folds in the shirt and wrinkles and a stripe in the shorts. Crisscross curves near the head and feet to show movement.

Step 5: Darken the eyebrows, eyelashes, insides of the sleeves, and notes. Use short lines to shade the receiver, headphones, boots, and stripe on the shorts.
