Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an April Fool's Day Surprise
How to Draw a Great Looking April Fools Day Surprise for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing the jester's head and hat. First, draw a pair of curved lines, and connect them on each end. This is the brim of the hat. Below the brim, draw a long curved line to enclose the round face. Above the brim, draw three overlapping triangles using curved lines. Draw a circle at the tip of each to indicate the bells or pompoms.

2. Draw the face. Use an oval for the nose and thick curved lines for the closed eyelids, eyebrows, mouth, and corner of the mouth. Extend a curved line from the mouth and double it back upon itself to outline the tongue. Draw a curved line down the center of the tongue.
