Elephant Drawings

 Elephant 

Step-by-Step Guide

Break down the drawing process into simple steps. 

Step 1: Draw the Basic Shapes

• Start by drawing a large circle for the elephant's body and a smaller circle for the head. Connect them with a curved line to form the neck.
• Add a smaller oval for the trunk's base.

Step 2: Sketch the Legs

• Draw four thick legs using rectangular shapes. Ensure the front legs are slightly larger and thicker than the hind legs.

Step 3: Add the Trunk

• Extend the oval from the head downward into a long, curved trunk. Keep the trunk slightly thicker near the base and taper it toward the end.

Step 4: Draw the Ears

• Elephants have large, floppy ears. Draw two large, curved shapes on either side of the head. Make sure they extend beyond the head and towards the body.

Step 5: Outline the Head

• Add details to the head, such as the eyes, tusks (if you’re drawing an African elephant), and the curved shape of the mouth.

Step 6: Add Details

• Draw the tail, add details to the feet, and refine the lines for the elephant's skin folds.

Step 7: Final Touches

• Erase any unnecessary lines and clean up your drawing. If you’re adding color, this is the time to do it.
