DIXIE (THE CHICK)
STEP 1 Draw a round, slightly lumpy body that is flat on the bottom. Give Dixie some ruffled tail feathers on the bottom right side.
STEP 2 Add some dark eyes set off to the left and above the midway point of the body. Draw small eyebrows and a fluffy wing. At the top of the head, sketch a tuft of feathers. Erase to make two white spots in each eye.
STEP 3 Erase the lines at the top of the head that overlap with the tuft of feathers. Draw a rounded beak (like a sideways heart) below and in between the eyes. Sketch small feet at the bottom. Put one foot in front of the body and one behind.
STEP 4 Remove the body line that the right foot is now covering. To complete Dixie, add some light shading.

SPLISH (THE KOI)
STEP 1 Start by drawing a body that looks like a teardrop lying on its side.
STEP 2 Sketch some tail fins. Then add more fins by drawing some ridges at the top of the body, with part of the ridge in the middle extending slightly into the body. Add more jagged ridges on the bottom curve of Splish’s body.
STEP 3 Erase the top body line so the fins starting in the center are connected to the body. Do the same for the tail fins and the lower body fins. Draw dark, round eyes with a small white dot near the top.
STEP 4 Give Splish some shading on his upper body and fins. He’s ready to make a splash!

SPECKLE (THE GIRAFFE)
STEP 1 Start by drawing a small oval with an arch on top, or what looks like an upside-down acorn.
STEP 2 Add round ears with a curved line across the top of each, and little arches for eyes. Then draw a long column that fans out into the body. At the bottom, sketch four square-shaped legs, with three in the front and one in the back.
STEP 3 Draw nostrils spaced a little wider than the eyes. Give Speckle ossicones (the horn-like structures on giraffes’ heads). Next, add a tail and a few fun spots on Speckle’s back.
STEP 4 Shade in your giraffe, adding some more color to the spots, tail, and ossicones to make your drawing pop!

PUFFERS (THE MARSHMALLOWS)
STEP 1 Draw two round, flat ovals, one inside the other, to form a plate.
STEP 2 On top of the plate, sketch three slightly misshaped circles that overlap and are stacked in the shape of a pyramid.
STEP 3 Erase all the lines that are now covered by the two bottom marshmallows so that the top marshmallow appears behind the other two. Give the bottom marshmallows V-shaped hands. For the top marshmallow, add rounded hands resting on top of the lower marshmallows’ heads.
STEP 4 Draw cute faces on each marshmallow. Give Puffers lots of character by making each marshmallow different. Draw one with an open-mouthed smile, one with big round eyes, and another with smiling eyes. Finally, make each marshmallow a different shade.

BUBBLE (THE BUNNY)
STEP 1 Draw a big circle that’s slightly egg shaped.
STEP 2 Add an oval button nose and upside-down fancy V for a mouth. Draw two sideways U-shapes for arms. And a couple lumpy legs.
STEP 3 Give Bubble big, floppy ears (about as far apart as the arms). Sketch a smaller curve inside the bigger curve of each ear. Draw a fat carrot in Bubble’s arms with three curved lines showing its shape and then a fluffy, cloud-like
