Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.

Small bumps
Keep the bumps of the cloud about the same size all the way around.
3
Smooth face
Only the wool is bumpy. Keep the face, ears and legs smooth.
4
White on white
If your paper is white, color the wool very lightly with cream or grey so it shows.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.

Try a black sheep
Color the wool grey and the face dark grey for a black sheep.
