Add rectangles for hands and feet. , The body should actually be thinner the head, in the style of the puppet that Pinocchio is, with a vertical oval for the torso and arms that are almost as long as the legs.
His feet should be fairly large ovals, and his thumbs should overlap the main portions of his hands. , Give him a chubby, boyish face with a long nose (his trademark feature) and a curved line for his smile.
His hair should tuft out in the front from under his feathered hat, and his clothing is pretty basic.
