While drawing, it will help if you choose a symmetrical shape like circle or square. It is not absolutely essential; you can also choose an oval shape. But stick to a shape, play around the expressions and then change the form. For a circle you need a compass, a circular ring or a small bracelet to get the perfect shape. Once you form the impression on the construction paper, you can taper the sides to get the oval shape. Square is easy to draw, Get the perfect shape with scale and protractor for exact 90 degrees angle on its four sides.

Once you have carved your favourite shape, draw the expressions. Give a circular or a curved mouth. Play around with the nose, a straight line a “T” or “I “' to make it look straight, nosey or crooked. Make the eyes in different shapes, and use the eyeballs to display fun, anger or any other expression.

Once you are familiar with the patterns and feelings, you can try the more complex ones.
