The written step-by-step video tutorial:

Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don't press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.

Step 1: Draw a small, angled line similar to the letter L for the basketball player's nose. At the bottom of the line, to the right, draw two tiny, curved lines for the nostril.

Step 2: At the top of the nose, on the left side, draw a short, angled line for the first eyebrow. To the right, draw the other eyebrow the same way. The basketball player's eyebrows should be similar to upside- down check marks.

Step 3: Under each eyebrow, draw a small, triangular shape for the basketball player's eyes. If you'd like, you can add a dot inside each eye for pupils, but the character looks cool with blank eyes.

Step 4: Under the nose, draw a thin, rectangular shape for the mouth. Make the sides of the basketball player's mouth pointy. Draw a short line below the mouth for the lower lip.

Step 5: Draw a curved, vertical line above the eye on the left for the forehead. Below the eye on the left, draw a wavy line for the rest of the face. Sketch lightly at first to get the shape right. There should be a bump below the eye for the basketball player's cheekbone. Only darken the line when you get the shape right. At the bottom, curve the line to the right to create the chin.
