Big cheeks
Draw the two cheeks big and round, side by side. They are the most important part of the face.

Tusks behind cheeks
Start the tusks under the cheeks so they look like they come from the mouth.
4
Small eyes
Keep the eyes small and high on the head.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.

Make it your own
Once you finish your walrus, add a background, a friend or a funny hat.
