How to Draw a Paraceratherium
Draw a paraceratherium in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: small head.
Step 1: Small head
Near the top left draw a bean head lying down, taller on the right, with a round nose end.
Tip Keep it small and up high. A long thick neck goes under it.
Step 2: Leaf ears
Draw 2 leaf ears on the top right of the head, a small leaf inside each. The left is smaller.
Step 3: Big eyes
In the middle of the head draw 2 big oval eyes with black dots.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.
Step 4: Nose and smile
Near the nose end draw a small curved nostril. Under it draw a long smile.
Tip No horn: this giant rhino never had one.
Step 5: Neck and back
Start on the head by the right eye. Draw the long neck, back and round bottom. Stop halfway down.
Tip The neck slopes down to a high shoulder.
Step 6: Ground line
Near the bottom of the paper draw a long flat line for the ground.
Step 7: Chest and front leg
From under the chin draw the throat down to a round chest. Tuck under, then draw a leg and foot.
Tip The leg starts under the chest and gets thinner towards the foot.
Step 8: Tummy and back leg
From the front leg draw a round tummy. Then a thick back leg, a foot, and up to the bottom.
Step 9: Far legs
Draw 2 more legs peeking out: one behind the front leg, one in front of the back leg.
Tip Only a thin strip of each far leg shows. All 4 feet sit on the ground.
Step 10: Toes
On each big foot draw 2 short curved toe lines. Draw 1 on each small foot.
Step 11: Tufty tail
Start on top of the bottom. Draw a thin tail curving out and down. End it with a leaf tuft.
Step 12: Shoulder and hip
From the top of each big leg draw a curved line up into the body. Stop halfway up.
Step 13: Pink ears
Colour the small leaf inside each ear pink.
Step 14: Colour it grey
Colour the paraceratherium grey, around the pink ear insides. Leave the eyes white.
