Description: Drawing baby animals is a fun way to create your own unique looking young mammal that can either be as cute as a button, or ugly as dirt. I wanted to submit another requested drawing by a member on the site. This member asked if I could do a lesson that teaches you "how to draw a baby giraffe step by step". Now naturally I have to jump onto of this kind of request because as some of you may know, I love drawing animals. I could go on for days drawing different types of animals whether they are in their adult form, or infant stage. I had so much fun sketching out this baby giraffe, and I definitely know you guys will love this tutorial too. The eyes, mouth and body of this baby giraffe makes him/her all the more delightful looking. Did you know that both male and female giraffes have long lustrous eyelashes? It's true all three types of giraffe, male, female, and young, have long eyelashes. These lashes help protect their eyes from debris that may irritate, or infect the eyes. When a baby giraffe is born, it has to drop five feet to the ground before getting up to stand. Isn't that amazing? Giraffes are pretty, loving, and absolutely wonderful. I hope you have fun with this tutorial that teaches you how to draw a baby giraffe step by step". Peace out my compadres, and happy drawing!
