Elephant Tutorial Video
Now students can easily learn how to draw an elephant with a bit more realism. This makes for a good lesson because all the shapes are all pretty simple, but there are a few more details added that make a lot of difference. For instance the back leg is larger than the front, so the hip line goes further into the body. There are tusks on either side of the trunk, and overlapping lines that need to be erased. Also the two legs on the far side of the animal are just a bit shorter than the front, because they are a bit further away. All those details are easy to draw, yet add up to a pretty realistic elephant drawing.
