Remember, Slappy has a very expressive face, so pay close attention to the details. These guide lines will help you get all the key features in the right spot.
Next, focus on Slappy’s eyes. They are large and wide, adding to his unsettling stare. Draw two almond shapes, leaving space for the pupils. Don’t forget his prominent eyebrows they’re crucial for conveying his mischievous personality. Think of making them slightly angled to suggest a stern and playful look.
Now, for Slappy’s signature smirk! Draw a slightly curved line for his mouth, with the corners turned up slightly. Add a small, rounded chin below. The key is to make it look both mischievous and slightly creepy. Practice the mouth before you put it on your drawing. This way you know you can do it!
Time to add Slappy’s hair! Keep it simple – a few short, choppy lines around his head will do the trick. His hair is usually depicted as being neatly parted to the side. This is a quick, easy process, and it is a good thing to make it simple, and move on to other features.
Don’t forget the details that make Slappy unique! Add his ventriloquist’s lines around his mouth and cheeks. These lines give him that classic dummy look. You can also add some shadows to give your drawing depth and dimension. This is a key feature that makes it a Slappy drawing!
