Step 1:
Let’s draw an African buffalo! Start by tracing two long, pointed horns coiled together. Continue with the rectangular ears. Here’s a tip: make sure the corners aren’t sharp but curved. Finish with the face and remember that the lines are not perfectly straight!
Step 2:
Add two small circles for the eyes and two small dots for the nostrils. Then draw two scribbles around the nostrils to outline the muzzle.
Step 3:
Trace a line that goes across the back and curves down. Then draw a line from the front going down. There is body!
Step 4:
From there, draw the front leg first, making it short and skinny. Draw a line across the bottom of the leg for the foot.
Step 5:
Draw only the bottom of the remaining front leg, as it sticks out from behind the front leg. Don’t forget to draw that little line for the feet!
Step 6:
Now, draw a line across the bottom for the belly and end with the first hind leg. This one is skinny too!
Step 7:
Draw the remaining hind leg, next, just like you did with the others.
Step 8:
Finally the tail! Draw two curved lines up to create a short tail. Make sure the end is pointed! It’s your African buffalo!
