How to Draw a Hippo Face
- Draw the base.

- Begin to give the head the desired shape.
Make the outline of the upper part of the head clearer and depict the front part of the muzzle in the same shape as in our example.
- Depict the ears.
Draw two small erect ears on the top of the head. With the help of short strokes depict the inside of the ear.
- Sketch out the eyes.
On the top of the head draw two small eyes that are far apart. Add the upper and lower eyelids.
- Add the sides of the head
Continue the lines and draw the side outlines of the head, which are semicircular. Smooth lines add the large folds.
- Draw the nostrils.
Depict two nostrils that are teardrop shaped. This will be a simple action that will not cause you any difficulties.
- Draw the mouth.
Depict one smooth line at the bottom of the muzzle to represent the mouth. Below the nostrils, add two small folds.
- Depict the upper body.
From the head, draw down smooth, curved lines to depict the neck and upper torso. Add some pleats to the sides.
- Add details.
Along the outer contour of the ears and on the front of the muzzle, draw the short hair using small, thin strokes.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Now check if you have drawn all the parts of the head correctly. If you notice mistakes, correct them carefully. Remove extra lines.
- Color the drawing.
For coloring, you will need different shades of gray and black. In front of the eyes, add the highlights and highlight the dark areas on the body.
