Free course: How to draw a character
A round head, one giant ear, and a long trunk that curls at the end. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw one big circle near the left. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly elephants.
A huge floppy ear on the back of the head, like a big fan. Start and stop it on the circle.
Two dot eyes, a smile, and a long trunk that hangs down and curls up at the end. Add a tusk on each side that curves out and up.
A big round body behind the ear, a little wider than the head.
Four short, thick legs like tree stumps, and a little tail at the back.
Toenails on the feet, a tuft on the tail, and a peanut in the curl of the trunk. Now this elephant is yours.
Now draw an elephant who is scared of a tiny mouse.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
