BEGINNING
Start out by drawing lightly at first so you can erase later.
Keep it simple at the beginning.
Use a basic stick figure to work out the pose.
Use a guideline across the shoulders to keep them level. Use a guideline across the waist to keep the elbows on the level. 

DEVELOPING
After you have the pose the way you want it, then draw around the stick figure to give the body its shape and then draw the clothes over that.

The head is an oval. Do not draw the hat until you get the features in the right place. Use three guidelines to help place the eyes, nose, and mouth. The first guideline is halfway across. The second is halfway down from the first, the third is halfway down from the second.  

Draw the hat through the top of the head, not above it. 

DETAILS
Keep the hands simple. Draw around the stick figure fingers. They are gloves,     so they can be fat and shapeless mittens.

FACE
Go over the oval shape of the face to give sharpness to the jaw and cheeks. Keep the face simple. The nose is like a letter "V," The mouth is a few lines. The eyes are two arches with dark half-circles for the pupil. Make the hat uneven like it is old and beaten up; this will give the drawing character. 

Erase the extra lines and rework the lines you like. It may be a good idea to trace the design onto another paper to finish the project. Many artists do this, sometimes two or more times on a project. 

FINISH
Color or shade the line drawing after you finish. When you color or shade in the picture, look for areas that you can leave white for contrast. Be careful to have some very dark areas and some very light areas, and some medium-dark areas.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

Thank You
