This drawing lesson is about how to draw a pig in just nine simple and straightforward steps.

So, this time I would like to tell you how to draw a pig. This drawing will be very beautiful and cute. I prepared this lesson especially for children and beginner artists, so it has only simple elements and a detailed description of each step.

I think you’ve definitely seen a pig ever, either in real life and in various cartoons or movies. Pigs are mammals. A pig is a pink or black animal with short legs and not much hair on its skin. Pigs are often kept on farms, but they can also live in the wild.

In this simple lesson, you will first draw a pig’s head, torso, and facial features, and then draw its legs and color the drawn animal. I wish you a great drawing!
