How to Draw a Reindeer Calf
Draw a reindeer calf 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: round head.
Step 1: Round head
Near the top left, draw a big round head, a little taller than wide. Leave room for the body.
Tip A big head is what makes it cute.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw 2 big oval eyes and a triangle nose. From its tip, draw a line down to a w smile.
Step 3: Antlers and ears
On top of the head, draw 2 curved baby antlers, each with 2 short branches. Add leaf ears.
Step 4: The neck
From the right cheek and the chin, draw 2 neck lines slanting down right. Stop just below the chin.
Step 5: Bean body
Start at the neck. Draw a long back, a big round bottom, and the tummy back up to the neck.
Tip A bean, not a loaf: the bottom is rounder than the chest.
Step 6: Two legs
Draw a ground line. From the chest, draw a leg down to it. Add a back leg from the bottom.
Step 7: Far legs
From the tummy behind the front leg, draw a thinner leg down to the ground. Same by the back leg.
Step 8: The tail
On the top corner of the bottom, draw a little leaf tail pointing up and back, like a small flag.
Step 9: Sand and peach
Go over your lines, then colour the antlers sand and the ear insides peach.
Step 10: Brown fur, grey hooves
Colour the head, ears, body, legs and tail light brown, around the ear insides, and the hooves dark grey.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a reindeer calf, drawn by you.
