How to Draw a Hippo for Kids

Step 1.


Make a perfect circle for the head and face of the hippo. Add one face guide and move along.

Step 2.


Here you will draw out the shape of the head as well as the wide long shape of the nose or muzzle of this animal. Draw in the flat tipped ears, and then move to step three.

Step 3.


All you have to do here is draw out the oblong shaped eyes like so, and then draw in the eyeballs, eyebrows, and two front teeth. Lastly, make swirls for the nostril holes and then that's about it for this step.

Step 4.


Simply draw out the front legs which are bent because this hippo is enjoying the water.

Step 5.


Draw out the rest of the hippo's body by making the back, butt, hind legs and feet, and then the belly. Draw the nails on the front feet and draw a tail. Since this is the last step, you will also need to erase the mistakes and guides you drew in ste   

Step 6.


Here is the finished product when you are all done drawing. Color in your hippo and enjoy something else to draw.

Description: Hello people, and whatever or whoever else comes to Dragoart, this is going to be the last submission for the day and what we will be doing is learning how to draw a hippo for kids, step by step. Even though these extra-large animals are incredibly cute, they are actually not friendly at all. They may look adorable when playing in the mud and water, but don’t invade their space because a hippo is a very territorial animal. I have a few hippos on the site so talking about this species again gets kind of boring. All I can really do is shut up, and let you get busy as you learn how to draw a hippo for kids. I’m not going to return today with anymore but I think you will enjoy all the tutorials that went up today. Thanks guys and enjoy!
