Step 2: Add Homer’s round belly

Homer without his beer belly? We saw it a few times in the series, but it looks unusual. Draw a circle to represent the belly of Homer Simpson and connect it to the shape from the previous step.

Step 3: Draw the eyes and nose of Homer

As the creators of the series say, “Homer consists of circles.” Start by drawing the cartoon eyes as two circles, then sketch a long cylinder for the nose.
