Now you have to complete another exciting lesson in which you will learn how to draw a donkey. This animal was of great importance in the development of economy and culture.

Donkeys have long been widely used as a working animal. Donkeys are adapted to desert conditions and more easily tolerate the lack of food and water than other animals.

There is an opinion that donkeys are very stubborn animals. In fact, donkeys are well aware of the limits of their physical capabilities and refuse to do overwork. Donkeys are also known to be intelligent, cautious, friendly and trainable animals.

How to Draw an Easy Donkey

The donkey is a close relative of the horse, but much smaller than the horse. He has a large head, long and sensitive ears, and a tail with a long tassel of hair at the end. The donkey has a small mane on its neck. His legs are thin with strong hooves. The color of the skin can be gray, brown, and black. Donkeys tolerate heat well, so in hot countries, donkeys carry goods and ride.
