How to Draw an Alpaca
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: head and muzzle.
Step 1: Head and muzzle
Near the top left, draw an egg-shaped head, narrower at the chin. Add an oval muzzle over the chin.
Tip The head is about as big as the body is deep.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw 2 big eyes. On the muzzle, draw a dark nose. From it, draw a line down to a smile.
Tip Keep the eyes above the muzzle, not touching it.
Step 3: Wool and tall ears
Draw a fluffy wool cloud on top of the head. From it, draw 2 tall pointy ears standing up.
Step 4: The neck
Start at the bottom of the head. Draw 2 neck lines sloping down, and stop half a head lower.
Step 5: Fluffy body
From the neck, draw a big fluffy cloud body, bumpy all the way round, shaped like a bean.
Step 6: Two legs
Add a front leg under the chest and a back leg under the bottom, getting thinner down to round feet.
Tip Each foot is a plump round pad with a line splitting 2 toes.
Step 7: Far legs
Add 2 thinner far legs peeking out behind the near legs. Draw a ground line under all 4 feet.
Step 8: Fluffy tail
From the top of the bottom, draw a small fluffy tail with 3 bumps, hanging out and down.
Step 9: Colour it cream
Go over your lines. Colour the whole alpaca cream. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Pink ear insides
Colour the ear insides pink.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an alpaca, drawn by you.
