Drawing an okapi in 8 simple steps

Animals
Hi young artist! Today we are going to draw a very special animal: the okapi. It looks a bit like a zebra and a giraffe, but it is truly unique. Grab your pencil and eraser, and let's get started together!
1
Draw a large oval for the body and a small oval for the head of the okapi.
Start by drawing a large horizontal oval for the body and a small egg shape above it for the head.
2
Draw the neck lines and a guide line for the tail of the okapi.
Connect the head and the body with two lines for the neck and draw a curved line for the tail.
3
Guide lines for the four legs and the snout of the okapi.
Now draw four straight lines under the body where the legs should go and a short line for the snout.
4
Draw the thickness of the legs and the large ears on the head.
Make the legs thicker by drawing shapes around them and add two large, pointed ears to the head.
5
Draw the hooves and a small horn near the ears.
Give the okapi hooves at the bottom of the legs and draw a small horn on top of its head.
6
Adding details such as the eye, nose, and the fluffy tail.
Draw a small round eye, a nostril, and finish the tail with a small tuft at the end.
7
Finishing the lines of the okapi's body neatly.
Look closely at your drawing and make the lines of the body nice, smooth, and rounded.
8
Erasing the final lines and drawing grass under the okapi.
Erase the guide lines inside and draw some grass under your okapi's hooves.
