HOOFED ANIMALS

Deer belong to a family of medium-sized animals that have long, thin legs and sharp hooves. Their heads are small and round, their necks somewhat long, and their snouts slightly elongated.

When drawing a larger animal, it’s best to start with the head, which will help guide the posture and the size of the other body parts. Draw a long, graceful neck extending from the head. Then add a guideline for the snout.

The back of a deer’s body is slightly thinner than the front. The body as a whole should appear much larger than the head.

Draw some thin legs with defined joints so that the rest of the body seems heavy compared to the legs.

A doe has large. leaf-shaped ears that point upward.

Compared to a deer, the goat has a larger body near the back, slightly shorter legs, and a goatee and horns!

The sheep’s fluffy coat often hides the different shapes of the body, so it’s best to focus on drawing the volume of its coat.

The gazelle is even more graceful and slender than the deer. Draw everything finer and more elongated.

On the other hand, the ibex is stockier and more muscular.
