Steps
A Realistic Pig
- Draw an oval for the body, slightly tilted downwards, then draw a circle for the head and a rectangle for the snout's outline.
- Draw the outline for the pig's thighs. Draw these using square-like shapes, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Note that the hind thigh is the biggest of the four.
- Draw the leg outline. The outline of the front legs are drawn with rectangles wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The hind legs are drawn with 2 irregular squares each. Notice that they form an angle with the thigh outline.
- Use irregular triangles for the ears and feet.
- Draw your pig's final outline.
- Draw the details. Draw the tail with a loop. Draw the eyes between the outline of the snout and body. Draw the snout's details and the mouth. Draw the details of the feet.
- Erase all unnecessary outlines.
- Color your pig.
Cute Cartoon Pig

- Draw the ears.
- Draw the iris of each eye. Darken the insides. Draw an oval-like shape with a flat base for the legs.
- Draw the snout and the mouth. Use your guidelines to align them. To detail the legs, draw a line to separate the paws from the legs.
