How to use it
- Print the sheet and put blank paper next to it.
- Draw the hook shape, like an upside-down letter J.
- Add the eyes, then the smile, eyebrows and teeth.
- Draw the stripes and color every other one red.
Tip: Stripes go around the candy cane, so draw them as slightly curved lines. Then try a candy cane with a different face.
This is day 2 of the 24-day Christmas drawing countdown.
