How To Draw A Lamb
Drawing a lamb can be easy and enjoyable! It’s all about understanding the shapes and lines of the body, and then connecting them all together to form the image of the cute animal. Here are some useful tips to get you with started on your own drawing of a lamb.
Start with the Shapes
In order to get the general body shape of the lamb, you will need to begin with a very basic oval shape. The oval shape represents the length of the lamb’s body. From the oval, sketch out two thick lines that extend outward. These lines represent the legs of the lamb. To build upon the lamb’s body, draw four circles along the oval to give your lamb its head, ears and tail.
Add the Fine Details
Connecting the circles with one another creates the lamb’s body, but you will need to draw the finer details of the lamb’s face in order to complete your drawing. Begin by drawing a semicircle around the head to form the nose. Then, draw two small triangles just above the nose to form the eyes. Add ovals above the triangular eyes to make the ears of the lamb. Finally, draw two curved lines that extends down from the head and nose to complete the faces of the lamb.
Include the Fur
Giving your drawing of the a lamb a fluffy look is essential to achieving the lifelike image of the animal. To do this, draw small and curvy lines around the entire body of the animal to give it a soft, fur-like appearance. To add even more detail, draw thinner curved lines that extend from the central thicker fur lines. This will really give the lamb a more realistic look.
Bring the Lamb to Life
By this point, your drawing should look pretty realistic. To make the lamb even more life-like, you need to add some shading. Begin by adding some light shading across the entire body of the lamb to represent its soft fur. Then, as you begin to add the larger details of the lamb’s face, add in some darker shading, particularly around the eyes and the nose.
Adding Color
Adding a little bit of color can really make your drawing of a lamb stand out. Start by coloring in the oval and the two lines that extend outwards. Typically, lambs are a white or light cream color, so keep the colors of your lamb simple. To give your lamb a little extra pop, use a light pink or brown color to Color in your lamb’s ears, nose and feet.
Finishing Touches
Before you’re done, you will need to draw the tail of the sheep. Begin by drawing a small circle at the back of the lamb, then extending a curved line from the circle to the back of your lamb’s body. After you’ve finished your drawing, look it over to make sure that all of the shapes and lines are connected properly. Soon enough, you’ll have a beautiful lamb!
Finding Inspiration
When it comes to drawing a lamb, the best place to start is by looking at plenty of reference photos for inspiration. A photo of a real life lamb can provide you with some great insight and help you to understand which details you should be focusing on with your drawing. Once you’ve got a great reference photo to work from, all you have to do is transfer the image onto paper.
