Draw a circle for the head. Select all the shapes and use the Unite Mode in the Pathfinder Panel to combine the shapes.

With the Direct Selection Tool, select the arm and leg corners to activate the Corner Widgets. The red line is the area to drag over to highlight the corners, then drag the corners out slightly to round the angles.

Select the body shape and use the Object>Path>Offset path to create a path inside the main shape.

Add a stroke to the offset path, remove the fill color.

Add texture to the body. To create texture, here is the tutorial on how to create a vector image trace of a texture.

Paste the texture into the shape, fill it a slightly darker color.

Add a curved line to the arms and legs.
