Draw String Cheese People

Draw String Cheese People


No doubt that the evolution of cheese as a snack food has led to the popularity of string cheese. A favorite of toddlers and adults alike, the peel-away layers of a stick of string cheese makes eating a healthy snack fun, and the creation of the food has lent itself to several pop culture references. If you're looking to draw some people made out of string cheese as a project, your only limit is your own imagination.


Instructions


1. Draw an oval in the top center of your paper, keeping in mind this represents the top portion of the string cheese person's head and should be sized according to how small or large your want your art to be. Draw a straight line downward on each side of the oval to show the cheese person's torso.








2. Add an upwardly curved line on the bottom of the torso lines, connecting the them together to form one continuous body. This where your imagination takes over: Decide how you want the person's limbs to be represented, either with typical cartoon-like arms and legs or appendages made from the cheese strands.








3. Draw the arms and legs if you're choosing the cartoon route, otherwise draw a line that curves outward from the middle torso line. Draw the same line underneath it to show the person's string cheese arm peeling away from the body. Repeat for the other side of the body to make both arms. Add hands with fingers if you wish.


4. Draw the legs in the same manner as the arms, then add in simple facial features as you see fit. Lightly draw vertical lines on the torso in no discernible pattern, giving the visual impression of a solid form that is indeed made of several smaller strands. Erase any errant lines you may have made by mistake and trace over your drawing in black ink to make it stand out on the page.
