With the help of this lesson on how to draw a llama, you can draw another animal – an alpaca. The fact is that these two animals are very similar to each other, and therefore they are drawn about the same.

Among other things, this tutorial will help a young artist learn how to create contours and geometric shapes using wavy lines. Please note that all the outlines of the llama are composed of wavy and uneven lines. It seems as if the llama is made of cotton wool or coffee foam.

The nine easy steps of this tutorial are traditionally made up of really simple lines and shapes. In addition, I have kept the proportionality of the complexity of the stages. Throughout the entire instruction, the young artist will not face an increase in complexity and will be able to cope with the task without any problems.

So, if you’re ready, then let’s get started!
