Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for a Mother’s Day Drawing and a Mother’s Day Drawing Coloring Page. No need for lots of details, just a mom and baby giraffe, sharing lots of love.
Crayon and Marker Option
This approach to drawing a giraffe works well for really young artists as there is no attempt to make the bodies look dimensional. The legs just kind of attach to the body in a flat way, and everything is overly simplified, but in the end I think that’s what makes it so charming! This tutorial project started out years ago as just a baby and mom looking at each other, but along the way a kinder filled in their space between them with hearts. It was such a sweet and brilliant idea I have made it a part of my permanent instructions ever since. (Thank you Nola!)
