Print

  1. Step 1: The printer box

    Below the middle of your paper draw a wide box with soft corners, twice as wide as it is tall.

  2. Step 2: Paper going in

    On top of the box draw a sheet of paper standing up, about half as wide as the box.

  3. Step 3: A happy face

    In the top half of the box draw 2 big round eyes with black dots. Add a wide U smile.

  4. Step 4: Paper coming out

    Below the smile draw a long thin slot. From it, draw a sheet sliding down, wider at the bottom.

  5. Step 5: Printed lines

    On the sheet coming out draw 3 short lines across, one under the other. Make the last one shorter.

  6. Step 6: Two buttons

    In the top-right corner of the box draw 2 small circles side by side for the buttons.

  7. Step 7: Rosy cheeks

    Draw a small oval cheek out beside each end of the smile.

  8. Step 8: The ground

    Draw a ground line under the printer, starting past its left side and stopping past its right side.

  9. Step 9: Cream paper, peach cheeks

    Colour both sheets of paper cream and the cheeks peach.

  10. Step 10: Stone printer

    Colour the box stone grey around the paper, cheeks and buttons. Colour the slot black. Leave the eyes white.

  11. Step 11: Green and red buttons

    Colour the left button green and the right button red. Go over all your lines and your printer is done!
