How to Draw a Great Looking Mammoth for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Mammoth step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the mammoth outline by drawing the animal's eye. Use two curved lines to outline the eye, and shade a round pupil inside it.

Then, draw a few short lines below the eye and a series of connected, curved lines below that. The latter is the base of the mammoth's tusk.

2. From the furry base, extend two long curved lines and let them meet at a gentle point, enclosing the tusk. Draw a long curved line for the front of the face.

Below the tusk, extend a pair of long curved lines, and connect them at the end with a curved line. This is the pachyderm's trunk.

Learn More About The Mammoth Drawing

Would you like to resurrect the extinct wooly mammoth? This easy, step-by-step mammoth drawing tutorial can help you do just that - in your sketchbook, at least.

The wooly mammoth was a cousin of today's elephant. When you look at this elephant drawing, can you see the similarities in the body shape?

Examine closely this elephant head drawing. Both mammoths and elephants have long trunks, large ears, and massive tusks. The main difference is the mammoth's fur.

The mastodon was another furry prehistoric elephant. It had a flat head, however, rather than the "knob" you will notice on the mammoth's head below.
