How to Draw a Cartoon Face from the Word "Boy"

Last Updated: January 10, 2021

If your cartoon faces keep looking like simple smiley faces, this technique can help. By writing out the word "boy" and connecting the lines, you can draw a unique cartoon face in seconds once you get the hang of it! This trick is great for entertaining kids while babysitting.

Steps

1
Write the word "boy". Make sure the Y is not curly at the end. Leave a little bit of space between the letters - they shouldn't be touching each other. Don't capitalize any of the letters.
2
Connect the bottom of the letter "y" to the backbone of the letter "b". This will make the jaw of your cartoon face.

3
Connect the top of the letter "b" to the top right of the letter "y". This will make the hair so make a hairstyle. Make zig zags, spirals, a mohawk, or a round head (i.e. bald!).
4
Connect the top left of the "y" to the beginning of the hair, as shown. This will make the hairline. There isn't much room for creativity here, unless you want to give your cartoon face a widow's peak or a side burn.
5
Fill in the details. Draw pupils in his eyes, eyebrows, a nose and a mouth.
6
If you want to be more fancy, color it and it will look fantastic.
