This virtual art lesson is a fun drawing activity with step by step instructions. Follow the steps below to create your very own Bart Simpson drawing.

• We will first begin with the eyes.

• Draw a circle about as big as a quarter towards the upper middle right side of your paper.

• Add another circle next to it leaving a small gap at the bottom. Make sure to leave the gap we will be needing it for the next step.

• Next, we will draw the nose.

• In between the small gap left from the eyes you will draw the nose.

• Make sure you do not make the nose too big. Try to keep it smaller than the eyes.

• Next, we will draw the mouth.

• Draw a line coming down from the nose, and continue it to the left just beyond the left eye.

• Finish it with a small horizontal line and the end.

• For the ear, you will make a letter ‘C’ by the end of the mouth.

• And add a leaning-backward letter ‘T’ inside.

• For the chin, you will add a little wiggle starting from the midpoint (middle) of the mouth.

• Draw a straight line coming down from the middle of the ear.

• Next, add a straight line leaning back (to the left) going up from the ear.

• Starting from the middle of the right eye, draw a little curve …

• Then carry on up finishing a bit higher than the back of the head

• Draw a zigzag line for the hair

• The real Bart always has nine points!

• Draw two big dots

• Try putting them slightly to the left within the circle

• Join up the two necklines with a curving line

• Draw a straight line going down – about the same length as the horizontal neckline

• Carry the line on curving out a bit and then going down again

• Draw a capital ‘D’ with an inward curving line at the side

• Try to make the curve of the ‘D’ about the same size as the circle of the left eye

For the second sleeve draw a fat sausage at the side of the straight part of Bart’s t-shirt

• Begin with the right arm

• First, draw two straight lines stopping just beyond Bart’s upper lip

• Then add a thumb and three fingers

• Now the Left arm.

• Draw two straight lines

• Add the thumb and three fingers

• Finish the t-shirt sleeve

• Draw a line curving gently out

• Finish a bit higher than the bottom of the tummy line

• Join up the two lines with a curved line

• Draw a line starting just in from the back of the t-shirt

• Line curves in then goes straight

• Draw a line starting just in from the front of the t-shirt

• Rounded line that curves back sharply then goes down a short way

• Join the two lines up

• Draw in the other shorts leg with three straight lines

• Start with the left leg

• Draw two straight lines going slightly to the left

• Join them up

• Do the same for the right leg

Draw long thin curvy sausages at the bottom of the legs

• Draw a short straight line for the back of the shoes

• Add a long thin sausage to the bottom of each of the shoes
