How to Draw a Sloth Face
Draw a sloth face 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: big round head.
Step 1: Big round head
Draw a big round head filling most of the paper, with 5 soft fur hills across the top.
Tip The fur hills are soft and round, not pointy.
Step 2: Pale face
Inside the head, draw the face: a smaller round shape a finger in from the head line all round.
Step 3: Dark eye patches
Above the face's middle, draw 2 teardrop patches, round blobs with tails sweeping out and down to the cheeks.
Tip The tails point out and down, like a mask.
Step 4: Two big eyes
In the round end of each patch, draw a big round eye with a black dot and a tiny shine.
Step 5: The nose
Between and under the eyes, draw a small rounded triangle nose, point down, and colour it black.
Step 6: Big smile
Under the nose, draw 1 wide U smile from under the left patch to under the right patch.
Tip Sloths always look like they're smiling: make it a big wide U.
Step 7: Rosy cheeks
Put a round pink cheek on each side of the smile, out near the edge of the face.
Step 8: Cream face
Go over your lines. Colour the face cream around the pink cheeks, leaving the eye patches.
Step 9: Tan fur
Colour the fur around the face tan.
Step 10: Brown eye patches
Colour the 2 eye patches brown, around the eyes. Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a sloth face, drawn by you.
