2. Follow Step 1 through Step 6, adding the marks shown in each successive picture.
3. Keep the finished pencil cartoon or add color after the last stage.

A closer look at this character

The drawing progresses from the eye area and top shape into the mouth and surrounding bumps. Keep the uneven outline visible in your own version.

What kind of pencil task is this?

This free step-by-step monster drawing lesson shows six stages rather than supplying an outline to trace. How to Draw carries ages 5+ guidance. Use separate paper for your version: this sample is the reference lesson page. It can be repeated on a new sheet if the artist wants to experiment with another expression.

Make the next idea your own

After following the reference, try a gentler or even grumpier mouth in a second drawing. Compare how that small change affects the character.
