Step 1: Start with a large circle with a slightly pointed end for the body. Draw a circle with a nearly flat bottom for the head. Use two short lines for the neck.

Form the legs, ankles, and feet with ovals (one partial), U-shapes, and four short lines.

Step 2: For the clothing and shoes, connect curves, J-shapes, U-shapes, and V-shapes. Stack a potato-shape, long tube, U-shapes, and V-shapes for the hair and headband. Turn over U-shapes for the eyes.

Draw a line under one eye. Place a circle and U-shape by a larger circle for the nose. Shape the cheek and chin. Sketch an oval, curve, and U-shapes for the shoulder and arms.

Add an oval, circle, and lines for the wrists and hands. Connect U-shapes and J-shapes for the sun and cloud. Show the ground with curves.

Step 3: Attach very short lines to curved V-shapes for the eyelids and irises. Add J-shapes, U-shapes, and V-shapes to the hair, ear, and face. Detail the chin with two curves.

Place a collar and elastic waistbands on the sweat suit using long curves. Draw U-shaped wristbands and ankle bands. Use short curves and two teardrop-shaped figures to show the folds in the clothing.

Define the shoulders with four curves. Connect U-shapes and curved lines for the hands and fingers. Add a curved V-shape and three curves to the shoes.

Step 4: Draw comma-shaped eyebrows and J-shaped hairs on the head. Connect lines, U-shapes, and J-shapes for the breath. Use many short curves to detail the elastic bands on the sweat suit.

Sketch laces and a shoe design using ovals, V-shapes, and curved lines. Form the bowknot on the sweatpants with a tiny circle, U-shapes, and teardrop-shaped figures. For each flower, surround a circle with attached U-shapes.

Use a short curve for each stem. Place two curves near the foot on your left. Show teardrop-shaped sweat on the belly.

Step 5: Darken the eyebrows and irises. Use short curved lines to shade the cloud and the jogger’s rear. Replace the ground lines with curved V-shapes for the grass.

Place three teardrop-shaped figures above the head to show more sweat. Use straight lines to show the sunshine.
