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.
