Deer Drawing
When learning how to draw a deer, especially a young one like this, it’s important to get the body proportions right before adding details. The head needs to be on the larger side, and the legs long and thin.
The step by step directions in this tutorial will make those shapes easy to see and draw. Once those skinny legs are attached to the body, and the head has the right shape, then it’s time to go and add the details.
