How to Draw a Boar
Draw a boar in 12 easy steps, about 9 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
Near the top left draw a big round head, a little wider than tall. Leave room for the body.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw 2 big eyes just above the middle. Under them draw an oval snout with 2 nostrils and a smile.
Step 3: Ears and tusks
On each top corner draw a triangle ear. Curl a fat banana tusk up from each side of the snout.
Tip Each tusk ends in a point level with the top of the snout.
Step 4: The neck
Behind the head, draw a neck line sloping down to the back. Draw one from the chin to the chest.
Step 5: The body
From the neck draw a bean body: a long back, a round bottom, and a tummy up to the chest.
Tip A bean, not a loaf: the bottom is rounder than the chest.
Step 6: Two legs
Draw a low ground line. Add a short front leg under the chest and a back leg under the bottom.
Tip Each leg gets thinner down to a little doorstop hoof.
Step 7: The far legs
Draw the 2 far legs peeking out: one just behind the front leg, one in front of the back leg.
Step 8: The tail
From the top corner of the bottom draw a thin tail curving out and down to a leaf tuft.
Step 9: Bristles
Draw 5 short soft bristles along the back, from behind the head to above the back leg.
Step 10: Peach snout and ears
Go over your lines. Colour the snout and the ear insides peach.
Step 11: Brown coat
Colour the head, body, legs and tail light brown around the peach. Leave the eyes and tusks white.
Step 12: Dark bristles, grey hooves
Colour the bristles and the tail tuft dark brown, and the hooves slate grey.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a boar, drawn by you.
