Start this drawing of Cupid by lightly sketching 2 ovals in the shape of a #8.

– Draw a letter ‘C’ shaped nose and ear.

– Draw 2 oval eyes.

– Draw a letter ‘D’ shaped body…on a slight angle forward.

Step 3

– Draw a mouth that slightly resembles a letter ‘U’.

– Draw 2 sideways letter ‘J’ eye brows.

– Draw a letter ‘S’ in the ear.

– Draw 2 ovals to form the shape of one of the arms.

– Draw a large letter ‘S’ shape on the back of the letter ‘D’.

– Draw a large ‘?’ shape in front of the letter ‘S’.

Step 4

– Draw a few curved lines for hairs.

– Draw a #3 shape for the hair above the ear.

– Draw 2 curved lines below the mouth shape you drew in the previous step.

– Outline the ovals you made for the arm…then draw 3 ovals…2 of them form a #8 shape.

– Lightly draw 2 ovals for the shape of the other arm.

– Draw a letter ‘J’ shape for the back of one of the legs.

Step 5

– Draw a letter ‘L’ shape below the ear.

– Draw a #3 shape on the right hand…for fingers.
