Bison Drawing
One of the best ways to learn more about an animal, is to learn how to draw it. When students learn how to draw a bison, they are more likely to remember some of the fun facts that make them so unique.
For instance, bison are one of the largest animals found in North America. They have a large hump on their back, and have thick fur that keeps them warm during cold winter months. Plains Indians used every part of the buffalo to help them survive. Their hides were used for clothing, blankets and shelters, meat was used for food, and bones were used for tools and toys. Horns were made into cups and spoons while buffalo chips were used for fuel.
This tutorial is designed to show students how to see a bison as a drawing in two layers. The first is the cow shaped body, and the second is a layer of thick fur that is added on top. This process will make sure that the proportions are right, before adding all those fun details of the shaggy fur lines.
