How to draw a pig beautifully, and most importantly - believable? This is quite simple and even an inexperienced artist can do it, since the animal has a simple body in the form of a solid cylinder, it does not even have a neck. The head, legs and tail are also quite easy to draw. So let's learn how to draw a pig step by step.

Pig standing up

Step 1. Draw a large oblong horizontal oval. This will be the body for your pig. Next to the large horizontal oval (body), draw a small vertical oval so that it does not touch the main one. This smaller oval should be about 1/5 the size of the body. Attached to the smaller oval, draw a triangle. This will be the snout of the pig. To know how to draw a pig correctly from the very beginning, carefully consider Figure 1. Using the model, connect 2 ovals with smooth lines - the body and head of the future pig.

Step 2. Using smooth contours, connect the top andthe lower parts are ready with the torso.

Now draw the lower limbs. Let's start with the front legs. Draw a circle near the front of the large oval so that most of the circle extends over the torso. Under the circle, draw a quadrilateral, narrowed in the middle. It resembles a child's drawing of a tree (crown and trunk). To draw the hind legs, you must, in fact, repeat the same steps: draw a circle as shown in Figure 2, draw quadrangles narrowed in the middle. They will represent the hind legs. The only difference is that the hind legs are thicker than the front ones, and the hind legs also need to be slightly bent back approximately in the middle (where the pig has a knee joint).

Give the picture naturalism

Step 3. The first steps showed how to draw a pig step by step with a pencil. Having the main contours, it is necessary to give the drawing credibility. First, use an eraser to carefully erase all the extra lines in the picture. At the very top of the head, draw a pair of vertical ears, add a twisted tail at the back. At the bottom of each leg, add small trapeziums that will serve as the pig's hooves.

The last figure shows that the shape of the head is slightly changed - the stigma is slightly enlarged. The drawing is almost finished. Now, in front of the ear, you need to add a point - the pig's eyes are small, draw a snout-patch and mark the mouth with a line slightly curved down. On the line of the abdomen, front legs and shoulder blades of the pig, with short strokes, lay the muscles under the skin. Done!

How to draw a pig differently? For example, who eats? This is also very simple. We use the same algorithm as in the previous version.

Step 1. Again, use the basic shapes - an oval and a circle. But in this case, we expand the large oval at the back and slightly narrow it in front (in the form of a large drop). We do the same with the shape of the head - we round the occipital part, and sharpen the front part (we also get a drop). Here are the outlines of the animal.

Step 2. Use a smooth curved line to connect the torso to the head. Draw the front and hind legs in the form of paired irregular quadrangles, as shown in the figure. With triangles, mark the ears on top of the head, slightly stepping back from the edge of the circle. In front of the muzzle with a trapezoid, designate the future snout.

Final outlines

Step 3. Now you need to finish the drawing. To do this, remove all unnecessary lines with an eraser. Smooth out all contours. Draw the eyes on the muzzle. They are very small in a pig, slightly almond-shaped, located just opposite the ears. With a short stroke we denote the mouth as in the figure. At the back we draw a tail twisted up. Additionally, with short lines, draw the muscles and mark the folds of the skin on the body of the pig.

If your drawing is similar to the original, now you know how to draw a pig with a pencil. If something didn't work the first time, don't be upset, try again!

The proposed method is suitable even for children. The main element of the picture is a circle. You need to start with a sketch. We draw 2 circles - a large one for the body and a small one for the head. Moreover, a small circle should turn out as if flattened from above and below. Let's arrange the circles side by side so that the small one goes a little on the big one.

Now inside the small circle - the head - add details such as eyes and nose. They are also shown as circles. We draw the eyes with small dots, close to each other, the nose - in the form of an oblong oval immediately under the eyes. On the nose-stigma we add 2 vertical lines-nostrils for the plausibility of the picture.

Draw the ears with triangles at the top of the head. Inside each ear, draw one more small triangle. At the bottom of the torso, add the legs with rectangles. Draw hooves with small dashes.

Now add a tail with a short spiral at the back.

Now you have learned how to draw a cartoon pig. To complete your masterpiece, the pig can be colored in.
