how to draw captain waffle!

Thanks, Molly Bruton, for this excellent drawing of Captain Waffle from my picture book You Can’t Scare a Pricess! (You might recognise Molly’s name from her comic reviews on the FPI blog.) Poor Molly just fell off a trampoline, broke her arm in two places and had to have surgery to put pins in it, so send her lots of sympathy. (She drew this before the fateful bounce.)

There are lots of ways to draw the pirate captain, but I thought I’d rustle up a quick guide, if you want to give it a try. Feel free to leave links to your drawings in the comments if you like! It’s always fun to see the variations. And what’s Waffle wearing underneath? Hmm…
