Likewise, if you've never tried my newspaper folding trick to requite students quick cartoon guides, this is the perfect project to give it a try. All they need to practice is fold their paper in half both ways and make a crease, before starting their cartoon. The neck lines up perfectly with the vertical heart fold, and the bottom of the cervix with the horizontal fold.

Less guessing means more than accurate lines the commencement time around, which will ever aid the confidence of any beginner artist.
