How to Draw a Simple Reindeer

Draw the head. Depict the lower part of the head in the form of an oval and then add the upper part.
Add elements of the muzzle. Draw two oval-shaped eyes, depict the nose and add the wide mouth with a smooth line.
Depict the ears. On the sides of the head, add the ears, in which the ends point down.
Sketch out the horns. At the crown, draw the horns that have small processes.
Draw the torso. Below the head, depict the torso using smooth lines and add the short tail.
Depict the front legs. With the help of straight lines depict two front legs that are located side by side.
Add the hind legs. The hind legs follow the same principle as the front legs. Add the hooves at the bottom.
Correct inaccuracies. Using the eraser, carefully remove all extra lines in your drawing. Correct the mistakes.
Color the drawing. For coloring, you will need brown, beige, black, and pink.
