How to Draw a Butcher

Step 1: The head

Near the top, in the middle, draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.

Tip Leave most of the page below for the body and legs.

Step 2: Eyes and smile

Draw 2 round eyes with big pupils and shine dots, a small nose, and a smile under it.

Step 3: Moustache

Under the nose, draw a moustache like a fat bow that sits on the ends of the smile.

Step 4: Ears

Each ear: start on the side of the head, bulge out in a C, and stop on the head.

Step 5: Paper cap

Start on the left of the head. Draw a flat-topped cap up, across, and down to the right side.

Step 6: Neck and shirt

Draw 2 neck lines under the chin. Start at the left one, draw a shirt, stop at the right one.

Step 7: The apron

Draw an apron: a bib on the chest, wide down to the knees.

Step 8: Both arms bent

Draw each arm bending at the elbow: from the shirt's side, down and in across the tummy to the wrist.

Step 9: 2 mitten hands

From each cuff draw a round mitten pointing in, with a little thumb bump on top. The hands nearly meet.

Step 10: String of sausages

Start at the left hand. Draw 4 fat sausages end to end, sagging in a U, to the right hand.

Tip Make each sausage as big as a thumb.

Step 11: Trousers, shoes, ground

Start at the hem's left end. Draw 2 trouser legs, stop at the right end. Add shoes and ground.

Step 12: Peach skin, pink cheeks

Colour 2 pink cheeks, then colour the face, ears, neck and hands peach around the moustache and cheeks.

Tip Leave the eyes white.

Step 13: White cap and apron

Leave the cap and the apron white, and colour 3 red stripes down the bib.

Step 14: Sky shirt, brown sausages

Colour the shirt sky blue, the sausages, moustache and shoes brown, and the trousers black. Your butcher is done!
