How to Draw A Baby Elephant Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

The baby elephant is a very cute creature. It has the most adorable look in its eyes, and its big flappy ears make it look even cuter. If you want to draw a baby elephant, you need to make sure that its features are properly there so that it can retain that cute appeal of its. But in case you do not know how to do so, do not worry. I am here to help you out.

To draw a baby elephant, you first start with its facial features and then make your way down to the whole body. That way, you can keep it accurate and keep its cuteness intact.

First the trunk

We simply draw the letter ‘U’, in a way such that the ends are pulled towards the left, and squeezed a little.

Time for the head

Next we take a light pencil and draw the head in the shape of a cookie.

Draw the eyes next

On the top of the head, we draw two cavities, one on each side of the trunk. They look somewhat circular with a curved end.

Add some depth

Draw smaller outlines of the eye cavity inside the bigger cavity, and two small curved lines on the top of the trunk.

What big ears

Draw two big ears on the two sides of the head. They will look like butterfly wings.

Cute little feet

Then draw a couple of ovals under the ears. They will be the hind legs of our elephant.

Time for the front legs

Draw a couple of ‘U’s under the trunk, on both sides of it.

Connect them together

Draw the lines that will connect the legs to the elephant’s body.

Little feet with little tows

Draw small toes on the hind legs. They will look like somewhat like marshmallows.

Toes for the front feet

Three upside down ‘U’s on the front two feet shall do the trick here.

Almost there

Use a darker pencil to enhance the sharpness of the drawing.

Let us color now

Your drawing is done. Now you just have to color it.
