Free course: How to draw a character
A big round back, a wide head, and one long line for the water. 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 long flat line for the water. Then a big round hill on top of it, open on the left.
A head that is narrow on top and wide at the bottom, sitting on the water in front of the hill.
Two tiny round ears on top of the head, and two dot eyes right under them.
Two nostril dots, a smile from cheek to cheek, and two little teeth under it.
Two wavy lines under the hippo, one long and one short.
One little flower floating by, with a curve under it for its leaf. Now this hippo is yours.
Now draw a hippo trying to hide behind a very small bush.
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.
