How to Draw a Sheep Easy!
Are your kids bored of following the same, boring drawing instructions from the internet and yearning for something more fun and creative? Well, don’t lose hope! Drawing a cute sheep is not hard. With our easy-to-follow instructions, your kiddos will learn how to draw a beautiful and colorful sheep in quick time!
Steps 1-3: Start with a Basic Outline
To begin, draw a large oval shape. This will form the body of the sheep. Make sure it is large enough to contain the other portions of the drawing. Now, towards the top of the oval shape, draw two triangle shapes with pointed tips facing each other. These will form the ears of the sheep.
Moving on, draw two circles close to the top of the body. Connect them with two curved lines. This will form the head of the sheep. Now, draw two small oval shapes at the bottom of the body for the legs of the sheep.
Steps 4-5: Draw the Details
First, draw the eyes of the sheep by making two small circles at the top of the head. Connect the eyes with a curved line and make a small circle at the center for the nose. Erase any overlapping lines on the head and body.
Finally, draw two curved lines from the top of the body, downwards. See how they look like the letter ‘C’? Yeah! You’re almost done! It’s time to add some colors to your beautiful sheep and make him look even more adorable!
Steps 6-7: Paint and Accentuate
Using a paintbrush, start coloring the body of the sheep with basic colors like white, grey or black. Make sure the colors blend well with each other. You can also add a few white patches on the body to accentuate the design.
Now, add colors to the eyes and nose of the sheep. Choose colors like brown, black or green. Add colors to the ears, legs and head too. Now, you have a colorful and adorable sheep!
Step 8: Enhance your Masterpiece
To enhance your drawing, add a few details like the horn, tail, hooves and tuft of hair between the ears. If you prefer, draw a few clouds in the background. This will make your sheep look like he is standing in a grassy field.
Finally, sign your artwork and frame it and hang it up on the wall. Voila!
Step 9: Put your Creativity To Test
Now that you know how to draw a sheep, don’t stop there! Try drawing a lamb, a goat or even a cow. Experiment with colors and create beautiful paintings, inspired by the animals of the barnyard!
