How to Draw a Bison Face
Draw a bison face in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Draw a big round head, a little wider than tall, filling most of the page. Leave room on top.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Across the middle of the head draw 2 big oval eyes, close together, with a big black dot and shine.
Tip Nothing should touch the eyes.
Step 3: Muzzle and smile
Under the eyes draw a big egg muzzle hanging below the chin. Dot 2 nostrils and add a smile.
Step 4: Two short horns
On each top corner of the head draw a short, thick horn pointing out, then hooking up to a point.
Tip Keep the horns short and thick, not tall like a goat's.
Step 5: Leaf ears
On each side of the head, level with the eyes, draw a leaf ear sticking out, smaller leaf inside.
Step 6: Shaggy mop
From the left ear draw big bumps over the top to the right ear, then a wavy fringe back across.
Tip The mop is what makes a bison: big, bumpy and covering the horn roots.
Step 7: Shaggy beard
Under the muzzle draw a beard of 3 soft round tufts, from one side of the muzzle to the other.
Step 8: Peach ears, wood mop
Colour the ear insides peach. Colour the shaggy mop, the beard and the muzzle wood brown.
Step 9: Brown fur
Colour the head and ears brown, around the mop, the muzzle and the ear insides. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Dark grey horns
Go over your lines, then colour the horns dark grey. Your bison face is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bison face, drawn by you.
