How to Draw a Hippo Head

Hello, dear artists, in this lesson we draw animals, or rather we will show you how to draw a head of a hippopotamus.

Step 1

In order to draw the head of a hippo, we need to draw such a figure: the head is a triangle with rounded corners, an open mouth that drawn with a pair of curved lines. Now sketch out a neck and a small ear.

Step 2

We continue the lesson about how to paint the head of a hippo. Here we need to draw huge teeth and skin folds on the neck.

Step 3

Gradually we begin to give our scheme a more hippopotamus look: draw nostrils, curved long cheeks, mouth. Erase all unnecessary and superfluous lines.

Step 4

Let’s make the drawing more realistic, adding shadows. Let’s start hatching with the most interesting: darken the mouth, leaving the teeth unpainted. Next, using light shading, add shadows as shown in our drawing.
