How to Draw a Cartoon Man Holding American Flag

Six small steps show a smiling cartoon man in a suit being built from simple shapes. The first step is an oval head with a big grin above a plain rectangle for the body. Next come the neck, two straight legs, and arms, with one arm stretched out to the side. Then round hands and oval shoes appear, along with ears and a small flagpole with a blank flag. Later steps add a jacket with lapels, a collar, a tie, three buttons, and the stars and stripes on the flag. The last step shows the finished figure in color. Print it for a drawing lesson and let kids copy one step at a time, then color the final figure with a dark jacket, a blue tie, and a red, white, and blue flag. It's a free, easy way to practice basic shapes.
