how to draw a cartoon giraffe step by step

I am glad to bring to your attention this wonderful and very simple drawing lesson, in which I will tell and show you how to draw a cartoon giraffe step by step. The cartoon giraffe you will draw with this tutorial will look very cute and funny. A distinctive feature of animals depicted in cartoon style is that they do not have realistic body proportions, and also look like cartoon characters.

The giraffe is the tallest animal on Earth. The giraffe has long legs and neck and a small head with horns. Its long neck helps it reach and eat leaves from the tallest trees. And long legs make it possible to run very fast, even faster than a lion, the only predator that can attack a giraffe. The giraffe has very sharp hooves, with their help it defends itself from enemies. The giraffe sees and hears well. The drawings on the body of each giraffe are not repeated. Giraffes live in hot and arid steppes—savannas. The giraffe needs to drink a lot of water at one time to get drunk.

The cartoon giraffe you can draw with this tutorial looks like a baby giraffe. By learning how to draw a cartoon giraffe, you will be able to depict it as the main subject of your drawing, as well as complement any landscape, jungle, zoo, and many of your other beautiful paintings that you have drawn. Now you can prepare your art supplies, and then start this lesson, carefully following my recommendations. I wish you inspiration, and I am sure that the result of your work will please you.
