Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Happy Face
How to Draw a Great Looking Happy Face for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. It has been said that a true smile can be seen in the eyes, so that's where we'll begin. First, draw two curved lines to indicate the cheek and bottom of each eye.
Above each line, use another curved line to enclose a partial oval shape. Within this shape, shade a large partial circle to form the pupil.
Drawing Step 2
2. Next, draw a curved line above each eye to indicate the eyelids. Over this, shade a curved shape - pointed on one end and rounded on the other. These are the eyebrows.
Between the eyes, use a series of curved lines to trace the nose. Use one line each for the side of the nose, tip of the nose, and each of the two nostrils. Notice that the lines don't quite touch.

"Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!"
- "Put on a Happy Face," song by Dick Van Dyke
