How to Draw A Pig

Several circles are needed to learn how to draw a pig featuring a healthy cartoon animal like this one! That's right! This adorable pig is mostly made from circles and the design is suggesting that this fun character did eat properly in the past few days. Including all elements that make a pig so special, this illustration should be quite easy to create for anyone ...

Unlike other animals from the same collection, this pig is huge and made from thick circles and rectangles. Once you draw a large body, a cute nose with two large oval shapes, a curly tail and two small ears, then you have all elements needed to end up with a recognizable character. If you also fill this animal with a light pink color, then you are sure to succeed! :)

Step 1

A simple step is needed to begin this drawing tutorial. Drawing the head using an oval shape. However, notice how the shape is not a perfect oval one. In fact, it's almost a rectangle with round corners. Study this one carefully and make sure you are able to duplicate it properly. 

Step 2

Next, sketch the body using a similar (but smaller) shape used to illustrate the head. Then, draw the hoof and the legs using small rectangles. This is a huge animal, so don't draw delicate shapes. Our goal is to make sure that this cartoon pig looks thick, large and really heavy. 

Step 3

Nice. It's now time to sketch two delicate elements. First, draw the ears using small triangles. Notice how the end is round and pointed. Next, create a tail that is small and curly. You can use a single line to represent this part of the body. 

Step 4

Good. All we need to do now is work on the facial expression of this little cartoon pig and give life to this illustration. Draw four circular shapes to form the eyes and the pupils. Notice how the pupils are slightly closer to each other compared to the eyes. You can also draw the nose using an oval shape.

Step 5

Finally, add two small shapes inside the pupils like shown below. The nose must also contains two small oval shapes. The mouth is simply made from a long curved line. 

Step 6

We are done! This simple character is nice, but it was even nicer when colors were added. Don't hesitate to draw more versions of this cute pig if you are not satisfied with this template. After all, the goal is to help you draw better AND find your own style, you own drawing signature!
