Steps to Draw Tung Tung Tung Sahur
Here’s a fun and simple way to draw Tung Tung Tung Sahur in 11 easy steps. Follow each step carefully and take your time to learn and sketch each step with fun.
Step 1: Drawing the Head and Body Shape
Begin with a large, rounded, rectangular shape standing upright. This shape will serve as both the head and body of the character since they are fused in a simple, cartoonish design.
Step 2: Add the Left Arm
From the upper-left side of the body, sketch a long, slightly curved line downward, bending it inward near the end so it wraps gently across the front of the body. Just below the line, add simple curved lines at the end to represent the hand of the character.
Step 3: Sketch the Bat
At the end of the left arm, draw a cone-shaped cricket bat tilted slightly to the side to create a playful, mid-motion effect. Start with a long, narrow triangle for the bat’s base, then round off the wider end for a softer look.
Step 4: Draw the Right Leg
Sketch a straight diagonal line angling forward to show the leg stepping. At the end, add a small oval or rounded rectangle for the foot. Keep it simple, as this makes the character look like it’s happily walking forward.
Step 5: Sketch the Left Leg
Start just behind the right leg, drawing a mirrored diagonal line angling backward to show the leg stepping in the opposite direction. Keep the length and thickness matching the right leg for balance.
Step 6: Draw the Right Arm and Hands
Start from the upper-right section of the body with a backward curved line that duplicates the left arm movement. Maintain an equal length to the left arm while designing the same basic mitt-shaped hand with a soft oval or rounded rectangular shape.
Step 7: Sketch the Nose and Right Eye
Draw a big oval for the right eye near the top-right side of the head. Then draw a gently arched eyebrow above the eye to give it a playful, expressive look.
Step 8: Draw the Right Eye
Add another big oval on the left side, matching the right eye’s size. Place it at the same height as the right eye for symmetry. Sketch an eyebrow above the eye.
Step 9: Add a Big Smile
Below the nose, sketch a big U-shaped smile – make it extra wide for maximum cheerfulness. Add two small lines at the corners to show smiling cheeks.
Step 10: Complete With Extra Details of Eyes
Inside each eye oval, draw a smaller off-centre circle for the pupils. Add a tiny white dot in each pupil to create a sparkling effect. This will complete the step of our drawing process. Clean up your sketch by erasing unnecessary lines to jump into the coloring process. We hope you enjoy the sketching process fully.
