Description: Well it looks like I have just gotten those two tough tutorial lessons out of the way. Now it is time for something a bit more easy and fun. If you look to the right in the “Top 50” column, you will see that the anime manga animals are doing extremely well. There is an animal that I have been meaning to draw and upload that I think will make an awesome addition to the anime animal collection. So, having said that let me say that you will be getting a lesson that will teach you “how to draw a baby elephant step by step”. The baby elephant that you will learn from is ultra cute and super simple. I have an idea for another baby character that I will be drawing today, so keep a look out for that lesson tomorrow. A member from DragoArt mentioned that the anime animals in the Top 50, would make really cute plushy toys. I was thinking about it and I totally agree. This baby elephant probably one of the cutest animals in existence. I think over the course of this month I will continue to draw different baby animals from time to time. In the mean time, why don’t you start this lesson that will teach you very easily “how to draw a baby elephant step by step”. Inspiration came from that lovable little guy from Disney who also happens to be a baby elephant and his name is Dumbo. Okay well that pretty much does it for me, I have been doing a lot of typing today and my fingers are going to fall off. But wait, I still have one more lesson to upload. Peace out peeps and happy drawing!
