1. Firstly sketch out the character roughly to get a good idea of what you're after. I've used a Graphics Tablet to draw out me idea, if you don't have a Graphic Tablet you can draw you're idea of paper and scan it in. 2. Next get the pen tool and trace around the face and face features of your sketch, you can use any color you like, I'm using the colors below. 3. Next put more detail into the eye using the pen and circle.

4. Next put some pink ovals on the cheeks, go to Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur and make it 9.2. Next create some eyebrows with the color of your choice. 5. With the pen tool create some hair using your rough sketch as a guide. 6. Next trace around the dress with the pen tool and draw the arms. 7. Next draw the legs and boots. 8. Now draw the shopping bag straps. Make the Fill color none and put in the strap color on the stroke. Using the pen tool to draw them lines, then click on the Selection tool to leave it. 9. On the other hand create the handle for the handbag using the pen tool. Put in a silver button. 10. Create the shape of the bag with the pen tool. 11.
