How to Draw a Giraffe Face
Draw a giraffe face in 9 steps, about 7 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: big round head.
Step 1: Big round head
Draw a big round head with soft cheeks, filling most of the page. Leave room on top for ears.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Across the middle of the head, draw 2 big oval eyes, one eye apart, with black dots and white shines.
Step 3: Big nose and smile
Under the eyes, draw a big egg nose hanging below the chin. Add 2 nostrils and a wide smile.
Step 4: Two little horns
On top of the head, draw 2 little lollipop horns: a short stem up with a round knob on top.
Step 5: Leaf ears
On each top corner of the head, outside the horns, draw a leaf ear sticking out and up.
Step 6: Inside the ears
Inside each ear, draw a smaller leaf.
Step 7: Giraffe patches
Draw wobbly round patches: one on the forehead, a big one on each cheek, a small one by each eye.
Step 8: Yellow head, sand nose
Colour the head, ears and horn stems yellow around the patches and ear insides, and the nose sand.
Step 9: Ears, patches, knobs
Colour the ear insides peach, then the patches and horn knobs brown. Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a giraffe face, drawn by you.
