How to Draw a Fawn
- Draw the head and torso.
Begin by drawing two overlapping shapes, a circle for the deer’s head and a larger oval for the body, ensuring the proportions reflect a fawn’s delicate structure. Place this in the center of your piece of paper.
- Add elements of the muzzle.
So, sketch the facial features starting with two dots for the eyes, a small triangle for the nose, and a curved line for the mouth to capture the fawn’s gentle expression. As you can see, very simple geometric shapes can form a vibrant and realistic facial expression.
- Depict the ears.
Add the ears by adding two leaf-shaped figures on top of the head, with inner lines to suggest the inner ear detailing. Cartoon animals with large ears always look a little ridiculous and funny.
- Sketch out the front legs.
Draw the front legs with two sets of parallel lines descending from the body, slightly tapering as they reach the hooves. The front part of the fawn’s body slightly hides the leg closest to us. Because of this, the legs look asymmetrical.
- Draw the hind legs.
Outline the fawn’s back legs with a gentle curve at the top, moving into straight lines towards the hooves, giving the stance stability and a sense of rest.
- Add the hooves and tail.
Our fawn has a very small, short tail. Try to draw exactly the shape and size of the tail so that the fawn really looks like a baby animal. The second action of this step is hooves, which is even more simple.
- Correct inaccuracies.
So, it should look like a cute, funny deer with a large head, a small body and a funny face. Check your drawing, find any inaccuracies and fix it. Next up is coloring.
- Color the drawing.
The entire design, with the exception of the eyes, can be painted in solid colors. You can choose any colors for this fawn’s fur. However, the inner parts of the ears look great in pink. Don’t forget about the highlights inside the eye contours.
