4. Erase guide lines from the ears.
Drawing Step 5
5. Detail the face. For each eye, draw a large circle. At the bottom of the circle, draw a rounded, "W" shaped line, and at the top, an oval. Shade between these to indicate the pupil. Use a pair of curved lines, meeting in a point, to form the corner of the eye, giving it a teardrop shape. Then, use a curved line to contour the brow bone above each eye, erasing guide lines as necessary. Enclose a curved shape, pointed at each end, above the eye to indicate the eyebrow. Finally, enclose a rounded shape in each ear, following the contours of the outer ear.

Learn More About The Baby Deer Drawing
Deer are found throughout the world. Forty-three species are native to every continent except for Australia and Antarctica.
Did you know? Different titles are given to each member of a "family" of deer. The baby is known as a fawn, the mother a doe, and the father a stag or buck. A group of deer is called a herd.
Spots, such as those of the deer in this tutorial, are often seen as a mark of youth - a coat pattern of fawns or baby deer. There are many species, though, that carry this coloration throughout life.
