  4. iv

    Describe ii parallel vertical lines for the body portion of his trunk, with stubby arms and legs. Defining individual fingers and toes is not needed, since we are drawing drawing characters.

    Make a sharply curved "C" shape for his olfactory organ, very shut below the ovals yous have drawn for his optics. Underneath this, you can make a short slash mark (-) for his mouth, curving up for a smile, or downwards for a frown, depending on whether he has gotten the best of Hobbes, or Hobbes has gotten the best of him.

  7. 7

    Place two "C"s on top of his head for ears, and make his nose an oval laying on its side near the bottom of the oval you lot have drawn for his head.

  10. 10

    Place two small, black circles (his beady lilliputian eyes) closely spaced only below the centre of the oval which yous have drawn for his head.

    Describe shoulders just slightly wider than Hobbes's head so make his torso long and slender, catastrophe it with ii very short legs, with paws fabricated from two more than oval shapes at their ends.

  12. 12

    Brand a long, snakelike tail, curving about randomly or "hooked" behind his back, and then add vertical stripes penciled in black downward information technology, as well as effectually his legs. These stripes do not cantankerous Hobbes'south tum, since it is white, do cover his forelegs (or arms, if you prefer) and back.

  13. 13

    Make the fuzzy, or fur-like nuance lines around Hobbes'south chin, a bit wider than the oval of his caput, and dimple the line of his lower chin beneath his oral fissure to requite it a catlike shape.

  14. 14
