Step 1: First, you'll draw a rounded rectangular head, drawing a large lump along the right side for the nose and mouth and adding in a curve for the mouth and a tiny curve above that for the nose and leaving a large space opposite for the rest of the body.
Step 2: Next you'll draw one large, circular eye above and to the left of the mouth, leaving two smaller circles white and filling in the rest.
Step 3: Then you'll draw in two small rounded ears, one just to the left of the eye and the other a barely visible loop above the top of the head.
Step 4: After that, you'll need to draw in the two long curves of the body, making sure to leave a space for the legs, feet and belly.
Step 5: Finally, you'll draw in the front and back legs and feet and the belly in between them and over the back legs.
