How To Draw a Mountain Goat's Head
Materials
- Paper
- Pencil or Marker
Instructions
Step 1: Start the head
Let’s begin our tutorial by sketching the mountain goat’s head. We do this by drawing a slanting oblong shape in the middle of your paper. The oblong shape doesn’t need to be perfect oblong since mountain goat have a different shape.
Step 2: Add the Mouth
Step 3: Remove Extra Line
Step 4: Add the Horn
Step 5: Add Details to the Horn
Now, let’s add details to the horn of the mountain goat. We do this by adding a short curved line from the left portion of the circle and then going downward. This will be the preparation for the next step of your tutorial. You can check the picture for you to be guided.
Step 6: Add More Details to the horn and the Hair
Step 7: Add more Hair and Remove Extra Lines
For the hair, add more circles to the forehead of the mountain goat. Make sure that these circles are connected. You will just do that by adding circles that overlap with the other circles.
Step 8: Add Details, Eye Guide, and Mouth
Let’s add details to the mountain goat’s horn. We do this, simply by adding a curved line from the V shape of the horn going downward. To emphasize the hair, erase the curved line inside the connected circles that you made but don’t include the border lines of the circles. On the upper portion of the head, draw a small circle for the eye guide. Then, add a short curved line on the bottom part to emphasize the mouth of the mountain goat.
Step 9: Complete the Horn, the Eyeball, and add Details
To complete the horn, in the middle of the curved line that you’ve drawn in step eight, draw a small letter e then, at the tip of it, connect it to the big curved line.
For the eyeball, draw a shaded circle in the eye guide and add a small curved line on the top of the mouth. After that, erase the lines that are found inside the hair of the mountain goat.
