Step 6: On the left side of the head, draw an arc similar to the letter C as a guide for Gru's ear. Place the ear at the end of the horizontal construction line on the left.

Step 7: That’s it for the initial sketch! You have the basic shape of Felonious Gru from Despicable Me. Now 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 8: Use the angled line as a guide to draw Gru's nose. Make the top of the nose bulge out more. The tip of Gru's nose and the bottom left end should be rounder.

Step 9: Above each eye draw a long, thin shape for Gru's eyebrows. Use quick, short strokes when you draw the eyebrows to make them bushy. Draw the eyebrow on the right raised up a little to give Gru a sinister look.

Step 10: Darken the edges of Gru's eyes and make the ends rounder. Draw a curved line under each eye to indicate the bags under his eyes. Draw a small line over each eye for his half-closed eyelids.
