12 steps · Medium · about 9 min

Draw a guanaco 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: head and muzzle.

Step 1: Head and muzzle
Near the top left, draw a long egg head. Over its chin, draw a round muzzle that pokes out below.
Tip Leave lots of room on the right for the body.
Step 2: Eyes and smile
Draw 2 big eyes. On the muzzle, draw a dark nose, then a line from it down to a smile.
Tip Put the eyes above the muzzle, each with a white shine.
Step 3: Banana ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a tall banana ear curving up, with a smaller banana inside.
Tip The ear tips lean in a little.
Step 4: Tall neck
From under the muzzle, draw 2 long neck lines straight down. Curve both round to the right at the bottom.
Tip The front line becomes the chest.
Step 5: Bean body
From the neck, draw a bean body to the right, round the bottom and along the tummy to the chest.
Step 6: Two legs
Draw a low ground line. From the chest and the bottom, draw 2 thin legs down to hooves on it.
Tip Each hoof is a little doorstop with a split up the middle.
Step 7: Far legs
Add 2 thinner far legs peeking out, one beside each near leg. All 4 hooves touch the ground.
Step 8: Short tail
From the top corner of the bottom, draw a short thumb-shaped tail pointing out and down.
Step 9: Pale tummy
Start on the chest. Draw a gentle curve down to the tummy line, and stop before the back legs.
Tip Below this line the fur is pale.
Step 10: Cream and peach
Go over your lines. Colour the muzzle and tummy cream, and the ear insides peach. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Grey head
Colour the head and ears grey, around the muzzle, eyes and ear insides.
Step 12: Colour it ginger
Colour the neck, body, legs and tail ginger, around the tummy. Colour the hooves slate.
