If a child does not have a compass, it is possible to use a rounded object, having attached it to a sheet of paper and accurately tracing its outline with a pencil.
2. After giving the outline of the head you will need to sketch the torso, for which you must step back from the bottom edge of the circle a small distance and depict an oval. The base of the legs should be depicted in the form of narrowed on one side of a small oval resembling the shape of an egg, a little backward below the torso.
3. Once the head, torso and feet are outlined, they are joined together with straight lines.

5. Next, the skirt is drawn, no matter what the year style, the length of the bottom of the garment should not go down to the tips of the legs, and better yet, it should be below the middle of the leg.
6. After the silhouette of the grandmother figure is formed, the oval that serves as the torso can be removed with an eraser, as it is no longer useful in the future. The feet are connected to the skirt in straight lines to form a complete outline of the lower limbs - feet, slippers drawn in the form of arcs will serve as shoes
7. The arms are drawn in the upper part of the body and the shoulders are raised, but the arms are bent at the elbows and as a result the arms are in the center of the body.
8. We go back to the image of the head, it is allowed to draw a sketch, then the right then left ears are drawn, it is very important to trace that the ears were at the same level, in cases where the level of position does not coincide you can use the eraser. To the outline of the head is added hair in the form of a ball with two protruding pins.

The nose, the main and first depicted element of the portrait, is drawn with a wavy line, then a friendly and kind smile with small wrinkles in the corners is drawn below the nose.

Due to the fact that the grandmother is elderly and probably wears glasses, they are also depicted worn slightly below the eyes. The eyebrows are drawn last.

9. Let's add some recognizable touches
   1. The blouse is divided in half with a wavy vertical line, and small buttons in the form of small circles or bold dots are drawn along one of the edges of the divided blouse;
   2. The hands are separated from the sleeves by small vertical stripes which are the edges of the sleeves;
   3. To the skirt may draw an apron in the form of an inverted downward arc.
