May I ask two volunteers coming from the Step 1
class. First, start by drawing an oval shape.

Second, continue by making an inverted U
shape above the oval you have previously
drawn. This will be the head. Also make the
nose. You can make it round or more of a
triangle shape.

folded ears are the best, but you could also
draw pointy, button or any other shape you
want.
Step 4
Next, draw two spots for eyes and two arches
above the eyes for the eyebrows. Draw a
straight line from the snout and a wavy line for
the mouth.
Also make the front pair of legs.
