    First try making the hair and the structure of the face. Later on, you can Google hand sketches and copy the hand you find best. Also look for tutorials if you don't find them interesting, then start by sketching hands by looking at your own hands. The first result might be ugly, but try, try again!

    To draw a shocked face, raise the eyebrows higher than their natural position, widen the eyes, and make the irises smaller for dramatic effect. Draw the character's mouth open as if yelling. A good idea would be to stand in front of a mirror and make a shocked face yourself. Notice the features of your face that stand out when surprised, and try to implement that into your drawing.
