Draw the head shape, paying attention to swirling the trunk. Add the ears to each side. Don’t worry too much about making the ears symmetrical. Instead, make them both unique but similar. The ears will always be in movement and never both in the same exact position.

Facial Features: Add two small circles for the eyes, placing them just above the trunk. Draw a small ‘W’ shape for the mouth below the trunk.

Add a crown: Your crown can be tall, flat, simple, or extra detailed. Now, add the body, emphasizing a large tummy.

Arms: On each side of the body, sketch two elongated shapes for the arms. Ganesh typically has four arms, so add another pair, placing them slightly higher. Draw hands- one hold is up, palm facing giving blessings. The other palm holds a laddoo or sweet in its palm.

Details on Arms: In each hand, you can draw different symbols or objects, like a modak (sweet), a lotus, or a goad (Anusha). Just sketch simple shapes to represent these items.

Almost done! Draw legs in a folded sitting position, and add feet. Also, draw a shawl around the shoulder. Add details to the face.

Add Decorations: Draw a small crown or simple headdress on top of Ganesh’s head. You can add patterns to the body and arms to represent traditional clothing.

Last step: Add tiny details to the jewelry. You can switch to the thinnest pen and draw tiny circles to represent pearls. Add these tiny pearls to the jewelry, to the edges of his shawl and to the bottom of the crown—color Ganesh in shades of orange or pink for the body.
