Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to draw an elephant in safari clothing, designed in a cute cartoon style. The process includes 21 steps, and while the details of the clothing make it slightly more complex than a simple animal sketch, it’s still beginner-friendly thanks to its rounded cartoon forms.
Character Breakdown
- Head: rounded with large ears extending sideways.
- Face: big eyes, raised eyebrows, and a smiling mouth.
- Trunk: curved slightly upward and segmented with light folds.
- Clothing: safari shirt with two pockets, shorts with cargo-style side pockets, and a cap.
- Arms: short and rounded, resting on the hips.
- Legs and Feet: sturdy with clear toe lines, cartoon-style proportions.
Once this drawing is done, it could be fun to sketch other animal characters like a cheetah superhero, a chicken farmer, a horse rockstar or even a rooster singer cartoon character.
Drawing Method Explained
Each step of this safari elephant drawing is color-coded to make the process simple to follow:
- Red Color: highlights the new lines to draw in the current step.
- Black Color: shows the lines from earlier steps.
- Grey Color: marks the basic sketch to establish proportions.
Through 21 steps, the guide moves from the basic sketch to the completed outline with all details included.
