Write the number 100, with the numbers a bit spaced out.
Under and between the two circles, which will be eyes, draw a longish 'U' shaped nose. Divide the circles with slanted lines and draw pupils in the bottom halves. Draw eyebrows going up.
Start with the top of number 1 and draw an oval for his face going all the way around, stopping a bit below the 1. Draw long wavy hair on each side, starting where his eyes are. Add detail lines to the hair. Add a 'U' shape for his mouth and a lower lip. Draw in a chin line and a few lines under the eyes for character. There is Ben Franklin!
For his outfit, draw 2 lines coming down for his collar in a 'V' shape. Add some ruffles and 2 sideways 'M’s' for lapels. Draw lines to indicate his shoulders.
Add a pair of bifocals just under his eyes, clipped onto his nose.
Add some color. Use light peach for his face, grey for his hair and coat. Draw in a light bulb to the upper left of his head. Add some lines around the outside for brightness and color it yellow.
