Drawing is a fun way to be creative, especially when you draw cute animals like a baby deer. Let’s learn how to draw a baby deer step by step. Grab your markers and paper, and let’s start!
First, draw two big circles for the deer’s eyes. Put them on the left side of your paper so you have room for the body on the right. Inside each eye, draw a smaller circle in the top right corner and an even tinier circle in the bottom left corner. Color in the big circle, but leave the smaller circles white to make the eyes look shiny and cute.
Next, draw the deer’s head. Make a U-shape that goes down and then back up. Inside this shape, draw a small oval for the nose. Below the nose, draw a J-shape on one side and a backward J-shape on the other to make the mouth.
Deer have big ears, so draw a leaf shape on each side of the head. Make sure both ears look the same. Inside each ear, draw a zigzag line to show the fur.
To make the face look more interesting, draw a bigger shape around the eyes that connects to the nose. Do this on both sides to make it look even.
Now, let’s draw the body. Start just below the nose and draw two lines down for the legs. Connect these lines at the bottom with a U-shape for the feet. For the belly, draw a curve like the letter J, starting from the chin and curving under.
Draw another line next to the first leg to make the second front leg. For the back legs, start with a curve that goes out and then down, connecting it to the body. Do the same for the other back leg.
At the bottom of each leg, draw small curves to make the hooves. For the tail, draw a shape like the ears, curving up and then down.
To finish your drawing, add white dots on the deer’s back. These can be small ovals, and you can add as many as you like to make it look like a real baby deer.
Now comes the fun part—coloring! Use your favorite colors to make your baby deer look lively. You can also add shading to the legs and highlights to the hooves to make it look more real.
Great job on drawing your cute baby deer! Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing. Every deer you draw will be special and unique. Don’t forget to show your drawing to your friends and family. Happy drawing!
Animal Observation Walk: Take a walk in a nearby park or garden with a parent or guardian. Look for animals and observe their features. Can you spot any animals with big eyes like the baby deer you drew? Notice the shapes of their ears and tails. Draw a quick sketch of any animal you find interesting and compare it to your baby deer drawing when you get home.
Create a Deer Story: Imagine a day in the life of your baby deer. What adventures does it go on? Write a short story or create a comic strip about your deer’s adventures. Use your drawing as an illustration for your story. Share your story with your classmates or family members and ask them what they think your deer might do next!
Color Mixing Experiment: Gather some crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Try mixing different colors to find the perfect shade for your deer’s fur. What happens when you mix brown and yellow? Or brown and orange? Experiment with different combinations to see how many shades you can create. Use these new colors to add more details to your drawing or create a new one!
