- Then draw the eyes first drawing the whites with his right eye higher than the left eye
- Then draw the pupils as small black dots
- Draw the rest of his face first with the jaw
- Then fill in the face with the same brown color
- Then draw the nose specifically focusing on the edges so you can identify the nose as something separate from the rest of the face
- Then draw his ears his left eye first with the same color as the face but making sure you can tell that there is a shadow by making the color black
- Then draw the left ear using a mix of like a black and brown color also so you can identify that there is a difference of the ear and the face
- Then draw the mouth to make sure that it looks all in proportion
- Then draw a beard accurately to the picture but you can use a font that looks like a scraggly beard
- Then make sure that the beard looks how it does in the picture while making sure the beard ends at the chin

- Then based off the picture draw that undershirt with the red font color size:5
- Now you will select the white from the color pallet
- Draw the jersey but blank with no features
- But do not draw over the entire undershirt so there is still part of it(by the neck) showing
- Then look at the Red Sox jersey and notice the red lines that go down the middle and around the neck area, draw those lines using the red that you have selected with the eyedropper
- Then look at the font of the words “Red Sox”
- You will notice the words have little bumps on the side and you will draw those using the pen tool and the same shade of red
- Then draw the number 34 on the left side of the screen under the word red
- Then for the sleeves of the jersey make sure they are not all the way to the side of the screen

- Then after 3 inches draw the thumb and part of the thumb
- Then draw a baseball bat with the handle being a light brown and the end being a grayish color
- then draw a couple grip lines on the handle where his hand is and a line after the bottom ends so you can see the change of the components of the bat
- Then just draw the first part of his fingers with black lines representing the space in between them before they disappear behind the bat
