1
Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
2
Big horn first
Draw the big horn on the muzzle first, then the small horn above it.
3
Eyes on the sides
Put the eyes far apart on the sides of the head so the horns have room.
4
Pointy ears
Make the ears point up and out a little.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
6
Make it your own
Once you finish your rhino, add a background, a friend or a funny hat.
