Homer Simpson is a widely recognizable cartoon character, in part because of the popularity of The Simpsons cartoon series, and also because of his comical representation of American working class stereotypes. This article will show you how to draw him, step-by-step.
Steps
-
1Draw one circle. This will be the eye.
-
2Draw a small circle, about half the size of the other one.Advertisement -
Draw a horizontally straight line from the end of the nose to the eye. [1] X Research source -
Draw another circle, the same size as the eye. It must be exactly in line with it, horizontally. It must 'wrap' around the nose. -
Erase the parts that overlap the nose and the first eye, as the first eye should be more in the foreground. -
Draw a curved line that stretches from the bottom point of the nose, to about in line with the far side of the first eye. -
Draw another curved line from the same point as the previous one, but pointing down, in a south-east direction. Its length must be about the height of one of the eyes. [2] X Research source -
Draw another curved line from the finishing point of the last one, pointing slightly down. Its length will be the same as the vertical height of the nose. -
Draw a small curved line, slightly smaller than the last one, that goes from the finishing point of the last one, pointing south-west. -
From the ending point of the line in Step 9, draw yet another curved line that points south-east, that is slightly longer than the vertical height of one of the eyes. -
Draw a curved line from the point of the last one, to the point of the one in Step 12. -
Add any expression of your choice to the mouth. -
Draw a circle that is about the size of the curved part of Homer's skull (see picture above). Chop off half to make it a semi-circle, but at an angle. -
Move the semicircle to a suitable point. -
Make a small lump above the second eye (see picture). -
Draw a straight line from the top of the lump, to the bottom of the semicircle. -
Draw a curved line from the other point of the skull semicircle that stretches all the way down past the mouth. -
