Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Boy
How to Draw a Great Looking Boy for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. To begin the cartoon boy outline, draw the boy's face. Use a curved line for the side of the face. Use shorter lines for the cheeks, nose, and mouth.
Above each cheek, enclose three successively smaller circles. These are the boy's eyes. Shade between the smallest circles to indicate the pupils. Shade a curved shape above each eye to form the eyebrows.

2. Use a series of curved lines to outline the hair and the ears, including the contours inside the ears.
