How to Draw a Deer
- Draw the outlines of the deer’s head and torso.
Depict two figures of different sizes, one above the other, using curved lines.
- Add the deer’s neck and tail.
Connect the two figures with lines and draw the tail in the form of a rounded line.
- Add details to the deer’s face.
Draw the eye as a circle, the nose as an oval, and the deer’s mouth as a short, curved line.
- Depict the deer’s ears.
Draw two ears turned in different directions, and draw the inside of one of the deer’s ears.
- Draw the two front paws of the deer.
Using straight lines, draw one paw closer to the viewers and the other paw much further away.
- Add the two hind legs.
The deer’s hind legs should look similar to the front legs pictured in the previous step.
- Add some decorative elements to the drawing.
Draw a few spots on the reindeer’s body in the form of ovals and draw its breast and hooves.
- Erase the auxiliary lines.
Use an eraser to remove any excess elements from the torso and head area of the drawn deer.
- Color the drawing.
You need brown, beige and black to paint this picture. Also, draw a glare on the deer’s eye.
