Now that you have gathered your drawing supplies and are ready to learn how to draw a lamb, let us dive right in! Whether you love to use a drawing tablet, or you prefer to work with watercolor pencils or paints, it is very easy to adapt our sheep drawing tutorial to suit your needs. Step 1: Laying Down the Construction Lines #Dark sheep head art how to In all of our drawing tutorials, we begin by using construction lines and shapes to lay down the basic shape of our animal. We find that using construction lines is the most reliable way to ensure that you have the correct proportions and shapes before you begin adding the time-consuming details. In this first step, we are using a single oval shape to construct the general shape of the sheep’s main body. You do not want this oval to be too elongated, as sheep have fairly round bodies. The most important thing to ensure in this first step is that your main body oval sits in the center of your canvas with plenty of space on all sides. In the next few steps, we will be adding the legs and head which need space. If you look at the final result of this tutorial, you will see that the sheep’s head does not simply extend from the front of its body. Sheep have a fairly long neck and a large chest, which we need to lay down with construction lines in this step. You are going to use another oval, but this time it should be slightly smaller and more elongated. Draw the angled oval shape overlapping with the very front tip of the main body oval. You want this oval to lean towards the right side of your canvas, and the top of it should sit a little higher than the highest point of the main body oval. Now that we have laid down the chest area which connects the sheep’s body and head, we can draw the construction shape for the head. For the head, you want to use a much smaller oval shape and place it at the top of the chest oval. This oval should be angled towards the left, opposite to the chest oval. In this fourth step, we are still focusing on construction shapes, so you are going to use two very simple shapes to lay down the sheep’s ears. On either side of the top of the head oval, draw two incomplete oval shapes extending from the head. Although these are only construction lines so you do not have to be too precise about their shape, it is important to note the difference in shape and length between them. If you look at our example below, you will see that the ear on our right is longer and more pointy than the left. Step 5: Drawing the Shape of the Front Legs The ear to our left is extending slightly forwards, while the right is going straight outwards. Up until now, all of our construction shapes have been ovals or shapes like ovals. In this step, we are going to create more freehand construction lines to lay down the shape of the sheep’s front legs. When this line becomes level with the bottom of the chest oval, you can create a rounded 90-degree turn to the left and then curve the line down to create the upper part of the front leg.īegin just below the halfway point of the front of the chest oval, and take a line down to create the thigh of your sheep drawing. For the second leg, take a U-shaped line down from the bottom of the chest oval and finally joining with the bottom of the main body oval.įinally, from the bottom of each thigh, create two elongated hooves, with a heel bump at the back and a sight point at the front.
