Adorable babies are a staple among animated cartoons. During the 1990s, the babies of the animated series Rugrats dominated Nickelodeon's programming.
Baby versions of many popular film, television, and video game characters - such as baby Mario and baby Luigi - have made appearances.
And in recent years, feature films such as Storks (2016) and The Boss Baby (2017) have placed infantile characters in the spotlight.
Would you like to draw your very own adorable cartoon baby? Doing so is easy with the aid of this simple, step-by-step drawing tutorial.

Use paints, crayons, colored pencils, or markers to color your finished drawing. Generally, girl babies are shown wearing pink and boy babies are clothed in blue.
Did you know, however, that it hasn't always been so?
Until the late 1800s, male and female infants around the world had been clothed in similar gowns, often white in color so that they could be bleached of inevitable spills.
When pastel baby clothes became popular in the early 1900s, pink was presented as a "strong" color for boys, and blue as a "delicate" color for girls.
Some sources promoted using pink for blondes and blue for brunettes, or pink for brown eyed babies and blue for blue eyed babies.
During the 1940s, the manufacturing industry settled on blue for boys and pink for girls. Therefore, be creative in choosing the colors for your drawing!
