How to Draw a Kid
1
We'll start out with the head shape of a child. A child's head is round, almost apple apple shaped. Their cheeks are round because their bodies hold baby fat still and their noses are slightly turned up from feeding.Their ears, which might look big f
2
Their bodies are somewhat pear shaped. Their backs curve a bit and their bellies stick out from their abdomen. Their heads will seem big on their bodies, their shoulders just a bit wider than the width of their head.
3
Their hands are small and soft. Tiny fingers and fingernails, still a little bit of baby fat too that goes away with more use as muscle builds from fine motor skills.
4
The same goes for their feet. The more they use them the more they will shape up. Tiny toes and toenails here like with the fingers on the hand.

We'll give them their feet next, adding shoes and socks. We'll also draw out the boy's hands and backpack and give him a hat to cover up the rest of his hair. We'll add the body of the bear on the girl and give her some freckles.

We'll give the boy some freckles too and a scraped knee. We'll also put some laces on his sneakers and leave one of them untied...since kids never know how to tie their does. We'll give him pockets and put a star on his shirt. We'll finish of the gir
