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 two ovals for the head and body of Cookie Monster. Draw a line, which will act as the center of his head and body. Define the place for his shoulders.

STEP 2. Draw the shape of the monster’s neck and eyes.

STEP 3. Use guidelines to define places for Cookie Monster’s legs and arms. Add his mouth.

STEP 4. Sketch the legs and arms.

STEP 5. Add his toes, fingers and pupils.

STEP 6. Work on the whole figure, paying special attention to detail.

STEP 7. Contour the Cookie Monster, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail, add the ground. Erase all guidelines.
