This food-toon is delicious! Let Bruce Blitz show you how to draw a cartoon that is sure to please this Thanksgiving.

paper
pencil
marker
colored chalks or colored pencils
eraser

SOMETIMES WE USE MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE ADULT SUPERVISION...LIKE SCISSORS...SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY AROUND WHENEVER YOU DO CARTOONING!

  1. Start by drawing guidelines: Loosely draw a circle with pencil for his face. Add a cone-like shape for his body and a circle to the right for his hand. Draw a brimmed pilgrim hat.
  2. Switch to marker. Draw an upside down U with 2 dots for nostrils. Draw large curves for big cheeks and a small smiling mouth with a lower lip.
  3. Draw large round ears with detail inside. Round out his cheeks. Continue the line around his face.
  4. Draw his eyes shut – upside down V’s with eyebrows up to make him look happy.
  5. Draw hair on either side. Go over the pilgrim hat – a rectangular shape that’s tapered at the top. Make a band going around it with a buckle – a square with a smaller square inside - and color the hat in black with your marker.
  6. Draw two rectangular shapes for the collar and one rectangle for the body. Draw a curved line for his arm to show it’s behind his back.
  7. Using the circle as a guide, draw a hand holding a large turkey leg. Draw jagged lines to show where he ate part of it.
  8. Draw his arm to connect the hand. Erase pencil lines.
  9. Use light peach for his face, ears and hands. Fill in his cheeks in a circular motion. Add a little bit of red to round out his cheeks. Add color to his outfit using black. Color the turkey leg in brown, leaving the bone white.
  10. Write “MUNCH,” “CHOMP,” “CHEW” a few times around his head to show that he’s eating. Draw some blue lines around the turkey leg, “mmmm” coming out of his mouth and even some drool drops.
