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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Create a circle about half the size of the eye, and cut a small part off. This will be the ear.
