In this tutorial, I’ll go over how to draw a cute cartoon goat. The design is stylized and simplified, so it’s great for a basic animal drawing with a soft and friendly appearance. The lines are smooth, and the proportions are exaggerated, with a big head and small body. It’s pretty easy overall, especially if you’re used to drawing rounded cartoon characters.
Main features to include in the drawing
- Short curved horns with simple ridges
- Large black eyes with bright reflections
- Small nose and smiling mouth
- Cheeks with soft blush marks created using three short lines (almost dots) on each cheek
- Short ears pointing outward with inner line detail
- Fluffy tufts on top of the head and under the chin
- Compact body with short legs and rounded hooves
- Small tail with two points at the end
Once you’re done with this goat drawing, you could move on to other animal characters like a fluffy sheep, cartoon cow, a serious bull, or even a rooster rockstar for more practice with body proportions and expressions.
Color legend for the steps
Each step in the tutorial uses color to separate parts of the drawing:
- Red Color: The current step you should be working on
- Black Color: Lines already completed in the previous steps
- Grey Color: The initial base sketch to plan your drawing
I usually begin with the head, since it takes up the most space and sets the tone for the rest of the body. Once the face and horns are in place, I move down to the body, adding legs, tail, and smaller details last. Keeping the lines soft and rounded helps match the style of this cute cartoon goat drawing.
