How to draw a Goober in six lumpy steps
- Squish a blobDraw a wobbly shape for the head and body. Potato, pancake, tower: no straight lines allowed.
- Pick the eyesOne, two, five, or on stalks. Make them different sizes and the Goober instantly looks surprised.
- Open the mouthWide and toothy, small and worried, or with a tongue flopping out. Gappy teeth are very Goober.
- Add the bitsEars, horns, antennae, arms, a hat. Pick one or two so the face still stands out.
- Get crustyAdd wrinkles, bumps, freckles and little hair sprigs. This is the step that makes it a Crusty Goober.
- Outline thick and colorGo over your best lines with a thick black marker, then color with any colors you like.
