4. Sketch Lincoln's hair and beard. Draw a curved line to indicate where his head meets the hat. Then, draw the hair using a series of curved lines that meet at jagged points. Notice the “C” shaped ear. The hair should jut out at the forehead, behind the ear, and in front of the ear, forming an “L” shape to create the beard.

Drawing Step 7

7. Outline the eye with a “V” shaped line and a curved line between it. Use a curved line to enclose the pupil. Draw the eyebrow using several curved lines, some of which meet at jagged points.

Color Your Abraham Lincoln Drawing

Color your cartoon of Lincoln. Abe Lincoln had black hair and in most of his photographs, he wore a black suit and white shirt. Of course, if you're drawing him on a penny, the drawing and the background should be copper-colored!

Lincoln was born into a poor family in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1809 and he later worked as a lawyer and congressman.

He was president during the American Civil War. In 1865, he was assassinated while attending a theatrical play.

Today, Lincoln's likeness can be seen all over America. His face appears on the penny, a one-cent copper coin, and on the five-dollar bill.

A huge statue of Lincoln sits on a throne in the temple-like Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., one of the most-visited landmarks in the nation's capital.

He is one of several presidents immortalized in the stone carvings of Mount Rushmore.

Many postage stamps also bear his image.

Along with George Washington, he is remembered on President's Day each February.
