Try drawing a blank OotS head then attach a cone to the side of the circle. Bend the cone so its sides bend into the curvature of the other half of the circle and press ctrl +.

This varies from artist to artist, but for me eyes go into the middle of the head and the mouth goes, for a normal expression, from the middle of the bottom part of the cone to just short past the second eye.

Visual clue because I can't explain my way out of a paper bag

Step 1: Find a good kobold in the Order of the Stick comics.
Step 2: Copy the image to your illustrating program of choice.
Step 3: Trace over kobold.
Step 4: Save kobold trace as a template.
Step 5: Copy trace, adapt as needed.

That's the easiest one. If you're a little more skilled you can also just use a Kobold from the comic as a reference. That's what I did when i made this:
