Drawing a cheerful reindeer

Animals
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a real reindeer together, just like Santa's. We start very easily with simple circles and lines. Before you know it, there will be a beautiful animal on your paper!
1
Draw a small circle for the head and a large horizontal oval for the body.
2
Lines connecting the head and the body for the neck.
Connect the head and the body with two lines for the neck and draw a small curve for the tail.
3
Guide lines for the four legs and the nose of the reindeer.
Place four straight lines under the body where the legs should go and a small circle for the snout.
4
Thicker legs and the first lines for the large antlers.
Make the legs thicker by drawing lines around the guides and sketch two large arches on the head.
5
Details of the hooves and a fluffy tail.
Draw the hooves at the bottom of the legs and give the tail a bit more shape.
6
The eye of the reindeer and side branches on the antlers.
Draw an eye in the head and make the antlers larger by drawing extra branches on the arches.
7
Adding ears and a round nose to the head.
Give the reindeer two floppy ears on the side of the head and draw a round nose.
8
Adding small details to the entire body of the reindeer.
Look closely at your entire drawing and add small details, such as knees on the legs.
9
The final result of the reindeer with clean lines on the ground.
Go over the best lines with a dark pencil, erase the guide lines, and draw the ground.
