  This is really just a free hand drawing, but something like this would
  be nearly impossible if it weren't for the tiny block mode. I know it's
  not fantastic, but I'm not a great artist, so it shows what even a moron
  can do.

  Virtually everything is done in the tiny block mode, so we'll start
  there (press <F9>). You can start by setting the background to blue
  (<Alt>+A to change the text colour to blue, and <Alt>+F to fill the
  background). Now the drawing starts.

  I started with the mouth. Set the text colour to black (<Alt>+A), and
  then draw the mouth using four lines (you draw lines with <Alt>+L). Once
  the border is done, you can fill it with <Alt>+F, and then do the tounge
  with freehand plotting (press <Space> to plot) - first set the colour to
  bright red though.

  Next comes the outline of the face - for this you need to change back to
  black agin. This was done with a mixture of lines (<Alt>+L) and freehand.
  Note that pressing <Shift> with the arrow keys is a quick way of doing
  freehand drawing. The ear was done as a circle (<Alt>+O), with part of
  the one side blanked out in the background colour (which was then blue).

  The hair was then done in yellow. This is very angular, so can be done
  almost entirely using lines <Alt>+L, and then filled in (<Alt>+F).

  Then we change back to black again, and add outlines and touches to the
  hair (once again all lines with <Alt>+L). We can now add two eyes to
  the face (two circles - <Alt>+O), and a nose (a circle with the one side
  blanked out, or freehand).

  If the face area is entire enclosed by the edge and the hair, we can now
  fill it in green (using <Alt>+F). The eyes can be filled with white, and
  the pupils plotted (using <Space>) in blue.

  All that is left to do is the wavy background, and for that we go back to
  normal mode (<F9>). First set the colour to bright blue on blue. Then
  select the "Waves" pattern (<Shift>+<Alt>+L), and finally perform the
  fill command (<Alt>+L).
