Some tips

  • Where will their head be?
  • Do they have a wobbly body?
  • Are they skinny and long or wide and short?
  • Do they have hair or even a hat that makes a funny shape?
  • Do they have gigantic feet and a small body?
  • Do they have long fingers and toes?
  • Stuck for shape ideas? Look around you. There are shapes everywhere. Try copying the shape of an object you can see then drawing a person inside.
