How to Draw a Mammoth
- Create the base.
Draw three circles of different sizes. Pay special attention to the relative position of the circles and keep all proportions.
- Draw the outlines of the torso and add the limbs.
Depict smooth connecting lines between the circles to draw the back and belly. Add the hump that mammoths had, unlike modern elephants. Use thin lines to define the location of the limbs.
- Detail the head.
Draw the small eye and a crease under the eye. With the help of smooth curved lines, draw the wide base of the trunk.
- Sketch out the ear.
The upper part of the ear is rounded. To draw the lower part of the ear, use short strokes that represent a diagonal line.
- Add the tusks.
In this step, be especially careful, because you must correctly depict the shape of the tusks. The tusks have a wide base and a long, narrow end.
- Draw the trunk.
From the base of the trunk, depict down smooth lines. At the end of the trunk, add two large dots to represent the holes.
- Depict the front legs.
Give volume to the legs. For this, use the auxiliary lines that you drew at the beginning of the lesson. Draw the outline of the legs with small, short strokes.
- Sketch out the feet.
On each leg, draw the lower part. Depict the few fingers and on each finger add the wide, rounded nails.
- Draw the back legs.
The hind legs are placed side by side and one leg covers the other leg. Draw the back legs with the same short strokes as the front legs.
- Depict the foot and tail.
Draw the foot on one back leg. You can’t see the foot on the other leg. Add the small tail that has the tassel at the end.
- Correct the inaccuracies.
The main kennel is ready, and it’s time to check your drawing and correct inaccuracies. Carefully remove all unnecessary lines and make the outline clearer.
- Color the mammoth.
For coloring fur, use brown and add shadows with a darker shade. Color the tusks in light gray.
