This cartoon camel is a body with one big hump, a long neck and a smiley head, standing on four long legs. Watch each step being drawn in pencil, then copy it on your own paper. It works for kids from about age 6 and for adult beginners too.
Copy the dark lines in each step. The grey lines are the parts you already drew.
In the middle of your page, draw a wide oval for the body. On top of it, draw one big round hump as part of the same shape. Leave space on the right for the neck. Press lightly so you can fix it later.
▶ Watch this step
From the front of the body, draw a long neck that curves up and to the right. Make it a little wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.
▶ Watch this step
At the top of the neck, draw a long, round head pointing to the right, like a sideways egg. On top of the head, draw a small pointy ear.
▶ Watch this step
On the head, draw a round eye with a white shine and three long lashes on top. Near the front, draw a small curve for the nostril and a smile under it. Add a pink oval for the cheek.
▶ Watch this step
Under the body, draw four long, thin legs, two at the back and two at the front. At the bottom of each leg, draw a wide flat foot.
▶ Watch this step
At the back of the body, draw a thin tail with a small fluffy tip. Over the hump, draw a blanket that hangs down on the side, with a stripe along the bottom.
▶ Watch this step
Color the camel light brown. Color the feet and tail tip dark brown. Color the blanket red with a yellow stripe and the cheek pink. Keep the eye dark.
▶ Watch this stepKeep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
Draw the hump and the back in one smooth line so it looks like part of the body.
Camels have long necks. Curve it up so the head sits above the body.
Three short lines over the eye make the camel look sweet.
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
Draw a few sand dunes and a sun behind the camel.
