Description Important:
This is NOT MANDATORY!
I'm not telling you how to draw me. You can draw the silly Benadryl man however you like. This is just my rendition, I think it looks cool.

(This is a very simple character, I shouldn't even have to explain, heheh.)
Here is (in excruciating detail) more information on each step:


BODY

Step 1 - Draw a "potato" (semi squashed circle)
Step 2 - Put a line over the circle, coming out a bit from both sides, this will be the base of the hat.
Step 3 - Make the iconic hat shape, making sure that you start from one intersection and end in the other. The top of the hat should be touching the top of the head.
Step 4 - Erase the part of the head that's inside the hat.
Step 5 (Probably my favourite step) - Starting from the head, draw the legs, slightly curved outwards. This is a very short character, and he sometimes slouches over. If they're overly slouched, the leg starts a bit higher up.
Step 6 - Draw a line to connect both legs. The actual "leg" is very short. Drawing this line close to the ground is advised.
Step 7 - Draw arms that begin where the legs connect to the head.
Step 8 - Draw a funny face, add any other details like hands or #1 mugs, and use grey 75% for the skin colour and grey 50% for the shadows. use any other percent and I will rob your sou-


FACE

Step 1 - Draw 2 perfect squares for eyes. Not to spaced apart, but not too close either. (Make the eyes circles if the resolution is too high, or it looks weird).
Step 2 - Draw a smug mouth. Very close to the eyes, and almost always extends beyond them. The mouth has sharp angles and lots of times resembles "]"
Step 3 - Draw a bottom lip with a simple straight or curved line. This GREATLY enhances expression, and I do not know why. Add one or two cheeks at the end of the mouth IF its closed. Draw any eyebrows, preferably one. They can overlap with the hap. For surprised/scared expressions, add 2 big "C"s on the sides of the eyes.


HANDS

Step 1 - Draw the arm, almost the same length as the legs, which can be either a bent line or a squiggle.
Step 2 - For the hand, draw a bulbous mass, and add a thumb, making a kind of snow glove. (Remember: Thumbs always point towards yourself.) You can draw individual fingers if needed. 


Now you know how to draw ME in excruciating detail!

Here's some trivia about him:
- I sometimes call him funny Benadryl man, because someone said that in a comment.
- He's the second OC ever created by me, the first being Dee.
- Its basically how I represent myself.
- My first banner consisted of an early version of him.
- He's grown shorter ever since his creation.
- Its difficult to differentiate between "him" and "me". We're the same entity, but also different, in a way.

I'm not forcing you to draw him, but its interesting to know what other people think of me, and its always appreciated.
Consider drawing him, it doesn't take much effort!
If you DO draw him, I'd prefer if it was a deviation, that way I can favourite it and add it to my fan-art collection (Just remember to tag me in it!). But you can also post it in the comments if that's your thing.

Remember: Not forcing you to draw 'em, and you don't need to follow the rules strictly!
And sorry for the wall of text.
