How to Draw a Great Looking Baby for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin the cartoon baby outline by drawing his eyes. First, draw two curved lines to form the tops of the cheeks. Above each line, enclose a partial oval with two successively smaller ovals inside.
Shade between them to form the pupils. Then, shade a curved shape above each eye to form the eyebrows, and extend three short lines from the top of each eye to indicate the eyelashes.
