This cartoon goat is made from simple shapes: a round head, leaf shaped ears, small horns and a pear shaped body. Watch each step being drawn in pencil, then copy it on your own paper. It works for kids from about age 5 and for adult beginners too.
Copy the dark lines in each step. The grey lines are the parts you already drew.
In the upper part of your page, leave a little space at the top for the horns. Draw a round head that gets a little narrower at the bottom, like an upside down egg. Press lightly so you can fix it later.
▶ Watch this step
On each side of the head, draw a long ear shaped like a leaf, pointing out to the side. Draw a smaller leaf shape inside each one. On top of the head, draw two small horns that curve back.
▶ Watch this step
In the upper half of the face, draw two big round eyes. Color them dark and leave a white dot for the shine. Add a pink oval on each cheek.
▶ Watch this step
At the bottom of the face, draw a light oval for the muzzle. Draw a small pink nose, a short line down and a little smile. Under the chin, draw a small pointy beard shaped like a triangle.
▶ Watch this step
Under the head, draw a body that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a pear. On the tummy, draw a light oval.
▶ Watch this step
Draw two thin front legs with dark hooves at the bottom, and a round back leg on each side. Add a small tail on the right.
▶ Watch this step
Color the fur very light grey or leave it white. Color the muzzle and tummy cream, the horns and beard grey, and the hooves dark brown. Color the nose and inner ears pink.
▶ Watch this stepKeep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
Goat horns curve back like a little hook. Keep them short for a young goat.
A little triangle under the chin is all you need for the beard.
If your goat is white, color it very lightly with grey so it shows on the paper.
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
Color the fur light brown and add a few white patches.
