We a know a igler—someone who lauhs at a your jokes. (Then
there’s also the kind of uy who lauhs at your haircut!) To create
a more mischievous rin, simply draw his eyebrows tiltin slihtly
downward, toward the bride of his nose. Finish with a lon, down-turned wisp of hair in front of his face.
HINTS
• Keep the eyes
simple—
don’t try
to do too much
with them.
• Give the
eyebrows some
thickness.
• Add a funny spiral
for the inside of
his ear.
• Make sure the
top of his head
is pretty flat.
