Draw it step by step

Six steps to a sheep

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the fleece

Draw one big cloud with seven soft bumps around it. Wobbly bumps make the woolliest sheep.

2

Add the head

A small oval sitting on top of the cloud. Keep it little — the wool is the big part.

3

Ears and a tuft

One little ear out to each side, then a curly tuft of wool on top of the head.

4

Give it a face

Two dot eyes, a small nose, and a smile underneath.

5

Legs and hooves

Two straight legs under the middle, one out to each side, and a little hoof on every one.

6

Finishing touches

A collar under the chin and a little bell that jingles. Now this sheep is yours.

Go further

Now draw a sheep who just had a haircut.
