    Under the eyes, in the middle, draw a wide U smile.

  4. Step 4: Two cheeks

    Below the outside of each eye, draw a small flat oval cheek.

  5. Step 5: A heart

    In the top right corner of the bubble, away from the eyes, draw a little heart.

  6. Step 6: Shine

    In the top left corner of the bubble, draw 1 short curve following the corner, for the shine.

  7. Step 7: Sparkles

    Draw 3 sparkle stars round the bubble.

  8. Step 8: Yellow sparkles, pink cheeks

    Colour the 3 sparkles yellow and the 2 cheeks pink.
