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

Using marker, draw a heart and put a broken, jagged line going down the middle. You want to draw this line so that it also creates the profile of a man’s face on the left.
On the left side, draw an eyebrow and a 'U' shape for an eye, using one of the jagged lines for a nose to create the man’s profile. Draw in a smile below the nose.
Draw a 'C' shape to create his ear and add hair. On the right side, draw 2 small 'U’s' for eyes with some eyebrows, a small triangular nose and a smile with lips to create a woman. Draw in her hair with some curls. You have mended a broken heart!
Draw a few small hearts above the characters. Color the faces in peach, red for the lips and cheeks of the woman, blonde for the woman’s hair and brown for the man’s hair. Color the hearts in red.
