Step 2
Connect those two circles to fill out her body. Add a rectangle at her belly for her snack. Add a circle for the nose and a curved line for her smile. Finally, two rounded squares for her ears.
Step 3
Add two dots for her eyes, a circle for the nose shine, a square for her famous front teeth, two little loops for her arms and a couple curvy lines on wood where she bit it.
Step 4
Add some small details like her snout whiskers, her claws, a little twig in the log and the folds of her ear.
