GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw an oval for the basic shape of Amy’s head. In addition, draw a line which will act as the center of the oval, and extend it to show the height of Amy Rose the Hedgehog.

STEP 2. Outline the shape of Amy’s body.

STEP 3. Draw some guidelines for arms and legs, marking with cross lines the proportions of Amy’s hands, arms and hair.

STEP 4. Draw the shapes of the hands, legs and a face.

STEP 5. Delineate a dress, the cuffs of gloves, boots and Amy’s eyes and ears.

STEP 6. Make outlines of boots, gloves and a fringe. Draw ovals where you are going to place eyes.

STEP 7. Add a nose and the pupils of Amy Rose the Hedgehog. Work on the whole shape and figure, adding further detail.

STEP 8. Contour, trying to vary the thickness and blackness of the line. Add some extra details and the ground around Amy. Erase all guidelines.
