How to Draw a Gazelle
Draw a gazelle 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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top left of your paper, draw a big round head, a little taller than wide.
Tip Leave lots of room on the right for the body.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Halfway down the head draw 2 big eyes. Add a triangle nose. From it, draw down to a w smile.
Step 3: Horns and ears
Draw 2 slim horns on top, bending out then in at the tips, with 3 rings each. Add leaf ears.
Step 4: The neck
Slope a line down right from the head's side, one down from the chin. Stop both half a head long.
Tip The neck gets wider toward the body.
Step 5: The body
From the bottom of the neck, draw a big soft bean body: long back, round bottom, tummy to chest.
Step 6: Two legs
From the chest draw a front leg with a round knee, down to a hoof. Add a bent back leg.
Tip A hoof is a little doorstop with a flat bottom.
Step 7: Far legs and ground
Draw a thin far leg behind the front leg, one in front of the back leg. Add a ground line.
Tip Only draw the parts you can see.
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: The side stripe
Draw a long band along the lower side, from the chest to the back. Make it thin at both ends.
Step 10: Peach ears, cream tummy
Go over your lines. Colour the ear insides peach and the tummy cream. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Colour it tan
Colour the head, ears, neck, body, legs and tail tan. Go around the peach, the cream and the stripe.
Tip Leave the stripe and the hooves for the dark crayons.
Step 12: Brown stripe, grey horns
Colour the stripe dark brown, and the horns and hooves grey.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a gazelle, drawn by you.
