Steps To Draw A Pig
Here’s a quick preview of our step-by-step guide: We’ll start with the pig’s snout and build the drawing from there, finishing with coloring steps. This cute pig can also be added to farm scenes, storybooks, or greeting cards. Follow the steps given with us to make your drawing come out of life.
Step 1: Draw the Head
Begin by sketching a rounded, bean-like shape. This will be the pig’s head — slightly wider at the top and curved at the bottom.
Step 2: Sketch the ears
Draw two triangular ears on top of the head. Angle them slightly outward. Make sure to add a small inner line in each ear to give them more detail.
Step 3: Draw the Body and One Leg
From the side of the head, draw a large curved line downward and back up to form the pig’s body. Then, draw a short front leg by adding a vertical rectangle at the bottom.
Step 4: Complete the shape of the body
Draw a curved line to complete the shape of the body, leaving a slight shape to later draw the complete leg of the pig. If you are confuse with the guidance, follow up with the given picture above.
Step 5: Add the front leg
Now add the front leg where we left the gap in the last step. Use the same simple rectangular shapes with little space between them.
Step 6: Complete Drawing the Legs
Then, add the rest of the legs — two more at the back. Use the same simple rectangular shapes. Make sure they’re evenly spaced and aligned.
Step 7: Add a Tail
At the back of the body, draw a small curly tail. The simple design is sufficient for creating a traditional piggy-style charm.
Step 8: Complete by Adding Facial Structure
Your pig requires a face that demonstrates its personality features. Sketch two brilliant round eyes showing the pig’s curious nature. Draw an oval-shaped chin with two small nostril dots. Finally, add a curved line underneath the nose to represent a big smile.
This step will complete the process of your drawing; now move towards the coloring steps to give the sketch a life. Before moving forward, see if you have missed any step to make a clean drawing.
Coloring the Pig
Your finished pig drawing will become more lively through the addition of color. Apply a light pink color across the entire body along with the ears and snout to give a standard adorable pig appearance. Then, add a soft, darker pink at ear borders as well as beneath the belly and surrounding the legs to give a shadow look. Black color should be used to fill the eyes as well as the nostrils and outlines to create bold cartoon impressions. If you are interested, lastly complete the coloring process by outlining the drawing with a black marker; it gives your drawing a bold look.
Color Details:
- Light Pink
- Drarker Shade of Pink
- Black
And that’s it — your adorable pig is complete! We colored it digitally, but you can color it using a pencil color or watercolor. But we suggest you use pencil color to make it stand out without any outer mistakes.
All Done
Great job! You completed your hand-drawn pig design. Observe the finished product, which displays a cute pink pig with a rounded body structure, floppy ears, and a curled tail design. The pig stands out because of its colorful appearance. Black eyes add life to the drawing, while dark pink shading gives the figure its form.
