   Connect it underneath the head as shown.
   
   This part will be the body. , These will be Sleepy's arms and hands. , The feet ovals should be longer than the others, so take that detail into account. , Make a chubby face with big sleepy eyes, a big nose, and a yawning mouth.
   
   Draw Sleepy's left hand touching the tip of his nose, as if he's yawning.
   
   Put a cap over the head and a ruffled beard (with sideburns) under his face. , Draw a tunic over a chubby belly, secured with a buckled belt, as well as lumpy shoes on his feet. , Try to make a modular line, which passes from a thin to a thick line and vice versa.
