How To Draw a Elephant Cute with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Contour the elephant’s face just by drawing an irregular circle. The shape should be relatively wider at the bottom than the top, accentuating the elephant’s cheeks.
Then draw the trunk at the bottom of the face. Draw two lines that overlap the contour with a muzzle at the top. An elephant’s trunk must be bent, as shown in the illustration, to make it look lifelike.
Step 2
Now that we’ve contoured the elephant’s face, it’s time to paint its other physical properties!
On the left side of the face, draw a large ear extending from the head down to the cheek. When drawn correctly, it should look quite similar to a human ear but relatively larger.
Step 3
Repeat the previous step on the other side of the elephant’s ear. Try to make the ears as straight and even as possible.
Step 4
Just below the face, draw a curved vertical line with a horizontal line at the bottom to outline the elephant’s arms.
Elephants are naturally on the side of more force. So be sure to make the chubbier arms.
Step 5
Then, repeat the previous step on the other side of the elephant’s torso. Make sure that the arms of the elephant are even and in the same level.
Step 6
On the left side of the body, draw a slanted oval to outline the shape of the foot. Then connect it to its body using curved lines.
Similar to an elephant’s arms, the elephant’s feet should appear rough.
Step 7
Repeat the previous step on the other side of the elephant’s torso.
Step 8
Now it’s time to add textures and details all over the elephant’s body to make it look like depth and realism.
Starting with the ear, draw a line inside the ear following the contour. This outlines the inner ear of the elephant. Then, draw three curved lines in the middle of the ear to create a crease inside the ear.
Step 9
Give your elephant some emotion and expression by painting its eyes.
Draw two vertical ovals with a small circle inside the outline. Shade the entire eye while leaving the small circle unobscured. This creates a dramatic “sparkling eyes” effect, making your elephant drawing look even cuter!
Finally, here’s the fun part — coloring your amazing drawing! This is the part where you can show your artistic talent and ability to mix and match different colors.
