How to Draw: Jelly Bean!

This week, our monster drawing lesson brings us a fun, athletic, candy-eating monster named Jelly Bean! Jelly Bean loves candy and playing football. Want to know a secret? Her mom just got her candy corn shoes and cotton candy. She always has candy for people in Murb. Thanks, Cassidy R. of Texas!











Step 1: Draw a square with rounded corners for Jelly Bean's body.










Step 2: Draw three circles for her eyes and nose.











Step 3: Add in her smile!

Step 5: Draw a cherry on top!













Step 6: Add all of the extras to finish Jelly Bean's face.














Step 7: Draw Jelly Bean's legs with some straight and curved lines.















Step 8: Draw straight lines coming out at angles from the legs to start Jelly Bean's feet.
















Step 9: Draw a straight line down from the top of her foot. Then connect that line to the other side of her foot. Do this step carefully as it really helps to make the feet look 3D.













Step 10: Make 3 straight lines along the tops of Jelly Bean's shoes.
















Step 11: Now draw lines coming down from the lines in Step 10. This step completes the shoes, and makes them look 3D!

 Step 13: Finish off her bumpy arm.















Step 14: Draw her other arm which is made of cotton candy. This arm is curvy, but not bumpy.
