- Add the outline of the torso and make markings on the head.
Depict the neck, shoulders and with smooth lines mark the sides of the torso. Draw two transverse lines, which later will help to correctly position the facial features.
- Give thickness to the arms.
Draw the joints in the form of an oval, draw the forearms and the rest of the arms, which are in the form of cylinders. At the bottom, add the hands.

Use guidelines and depict all parts of the legs. With the help of circles, designate the knee joints and draw the feet below.
- Add facial features.
Use the guidelines you made earlier and draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth.
- Draw the rest of the elements of the head.
Depict the outline of the hair at the crown and temples. Add the ears on the sides and make the oval of the face clearer.
- Start drawing clothes.
Focus on those lines that you drew earlier and draw the short-sleeved sports T-shirt.
- Depict the hands.
Give the arms the correct anatomical shape. Detail the hands, add the fingers in the same position as in the example. Draw the neck.

Draw the legs, draw the shorts at the top and add the folds to the fabric. Add the sneakers and with the help of an even circle depict the ball.
- Detail the ball and add folds to the clothes.
On the surface of the ball, successively draw even hexagons. Using thin lines, depict the folds on the T-shirt.
- Detail the legs.
Depict the sports socks. To do this, draw a few smooth transverse lines on each lower leg.
