Strawberry with a Smiley Face

The humble strawberry transforms into a delightful character with just a few deft strokes and a careful application of a white gel pen. Draw a simple berry shape, add a couple of seeds for the eyes, and finish off with a wide, curving smile. You can even give your strawberry a passion for life by drawing arms and legs and placing it in a whimsical scene.

The Carrot Top Critter

The leafy top of a carrot makes the perfect base for a fun, furry critter. Draw a simple, rounded shape for the body, add a couple of beady eyes, and a tiny nose, then let the carrot's greenery cascade down as a feathery tail or a wild, flowing locks.
