How to Draw a Musk Ox
Draw a musk ox 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
Near the top left draw a big round head, wider than tall. Leave room on the right for the body.
Tip Leave room above it for a mop of hair.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw 2 big eyes in the middle. Under them add a big egg nose, 2 nostrils and a smile.
Step 3: Horns and hair
Draw a horn each side of the head, curving down then hooking up. Add a mop of hair on top.
Step 4: The neck
Start behind the right horn. Draw a short neck line out to the right, stopping where the hump starts.
Step 5: The body
Start at the neck. Go over a big hump, round the bottom, then soft hair bumps back to the chest.
Tip The shaggy skirt hangs low, so only the bottom of the legs show.
Step 6: Two legs
Draw a ground line. From the skirt draw 2 legs, front and back, down to hooves on it.
Tip A hoof is flat on the ground, with a short split up the middle.
Step 7: The far legs
Beside each leg draw a thinner far leg peeking out, down to a hoof on the ground.
Step 8: The tail
From the top of the bottom, draw a short tail curving down and out, with a soft round end.
Step 9: Grey horns, light hair
Colour the horns light grey, and the mop of hair and the nose light brown. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Brown body, dark hooves
Colour the head, body, legs and tail brown, around the hair and nose. Colour the hooves dark grey.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a musk ox, drawn by you.
