Slow and lazy, sloths definitely live up to their name. Learn how to draw an easy sloth face so you can appreciate this funny, furry animal.
Sloths are mammals with friendly faces that live in trees. Since they don’t eat a lot of calories, they move slowly so they don’t run out of energy.
Surprisingly, predators don’t target sloths–they’re so slow that predators don’t even notice them.
Would you enjoy being a sloth? They sleep in trees all day and occasionally wake up to eat. Most people would enjoy a simple life like that.

While you can’t be a sloth, you can draw a cartoon sloth and think about what it would be like to live in a jungle.
Jungles can be dangerous places for humans, but sloths live there every day. They seem to be a little smarter than people.
Use a pencil and black marker, pen or colored pencil to draw a cartoon sloth. Afterward, use colored pencils, crayons or oil pastels to blend the colors of the fur.

How to Draw a Sloth

Complete Sloth drawing
Sloths represent five to six mammal species that live in the trees of South and Central America. They are known for moving very slowly. While they may resemble monkeys, they are not considered primates.
They are actually considered close relatives of anteaters.
Why do sloths move so slowly? They have a very slow metabolism, meaning they digest their food slowly and use little energy.
Interestingly, sloths are very good swimmers and can often be found swimming between tropical islands in order to find a mate.
Thanks to their metabolism, sloths can hold their breath underwater for up to forty minutes.
Scroll down for a FREE PRINTABLE PDF of this tutorial.
A species of moth known as the sloth moth depends on the sloth’s fur to provide it a home.
Some of the most memorable sloths in popular culture were Flash and his friends in Disney’s Zootopia.
The sloth’s slowness was used to satirize complaints against the Department of Motor Vehicles. Sid, a favorite character from the animated Ice Age series, represents an extinct species of prehistoric ground sloth.
Sloths can also be found in artwork, on clothing and accessories, and even as decorative tea infusers.
If slow and steady wins the race, we think the sloth’s a winner. Would you like to draw a slow and steady sloth?
This easy, step-by-step drawing tutorial is designed to make doing so simple and fun. All you will need is a pencil, an eraser, and a sheet of paper. You may also wish to color your finished drawing.

7. Draw the sloth’s far arm. Between the body and the tree, us a curved line and a series of overlapping curved lines as before. Then, use two curved lines that meet in a point to form the hand grasping the branch. Erase guide lines as necessary. Draw a curved line across the top of the hand, and use additional curved lines to distinguish the fingers.
