This guide will show you how to draw a rhino from the front view in 19 steps. It captures the impressive presence of this animal walking toward the viewer. The process focuses on proportions, body mass, and perspective, helping you build a dynamic and realistic drawing of a rhinoceros in motion.
Key Features of a Front View Rhino
- Head: Large and slightly pointed forward with a thick horn at the center.
- Body: Broad and muscular with a noticeable hump at the shoulders.
- Ears: Upright and tilted outward.
- Legs: Thick and strong, showing movement as the rhino walks toward the viewer.
- Skin: Textured with folds and creases around the neck and legs.
The front perspective gives a sense of power and motion, showing how the rhino’s body weight shifts forward as it walks. Paying attention to the symmetry of both sides is important for achieving balance in this pose.
After you finish this one, try sketching other large animals like an elephant front view or a hippo walking pose.
