Start with the head—remembering the jawbone.
After putting in the eye line, draw the body in the style of a snowman: a ball for the head, one for the upper body, a bigger one for the middle of the torso, and add a kind of skirt area for the lower part.
Now add the limbs and the various objects she will hold. Remember: The legs, even though tiny, must line up with the middle of the body. They can’t just stick out under the skirt any old where!
With a few extra details, I now have a portrait of the check-out lady at my local supermarket.
