Step 6: That's it for the initial sketch of Hello Kitty! You have the basic Hello Kitty shape, and now you will go in and tighten your drawing. From this point on, press harder with your pencil in order to get darker lines and a more defined sketch.

Step 7: Start by tightening the shape of Hello Kitty's bow. Darken in the circle first, then round the triangle shapes. Do not draw in the points of the triangle that overlap with the small circle. Draw two C-shaped curves that touch the small circle inside each of the triangles.

Step 8: Darken in Hello Kitty's head, making sure to round her ears so they won't be so pointy.

Step 9: Now draw two ovals right on the horizontal construction line on either side of the vertical construction line. Shade these ovals in. When drawing the eyes, make sure that each eye is centered between the vertical construction line and the outside of the circle. These complete Hello Kitty's eyes.

Step 10: Below the horizontal construction line, right on the vertical construction line, draw a sideways oval that is of similar size to Hello Kitty's eyes. Don't shade this one in. This is her nose. Using quick strokes, draw three lines on either side of her face to represent her whiskers.
