How to Draw a Reticulated Giraffe Side 15

Step 15: Use the remaining lines and shapes as guides to draw the rest of the head. Darken the initial arc but make the top part a bit wavier. The bottom part of the head should be narrower than the arc. Add a few curved lines at the bottom for wrinkles. Darken the top part of the giraffe's head but don't overlap the shape of the ear. Draw a few short lines inside the head to emphasize its structure.

Step 16: Use the line on the far left side as a guide to draw the giraffe's first front leg. Follow the guide and lightly sketch the shape of the leg around it. Keep the shape of the leg close to the guide to maintain the thinness of the leg. The leg should be slightly wider at the top. Add an extra bump near the middle to indicate the joint. When you get the shape of the leg right, darken the lines. The foot at the bottom should be wide. Add a bump above the foot for another joint. Add a couple of lines at the bottom to shape the hoof and to split the tip.

Step 17: Use the line on the right as a guide to draw the other front leg the same way. Lightly sketch the shape of the leg around the guide. Darken the lines when you get the shape right. Draw a bump near the middle of the leg for the joint. The top of the giraffe's leg will be blocked by the first leg. Draw the joint at the bottom and make the foot wide. Add the lines for the hoof inside the shape.

Step 18: Use the line on the far right side as a guide to draw the first hind leg. Lightly sketch the shape of the leg around the guide. The top part of the leg should be wider than the front leg. The top of the leg should be wide enough to overlap the guide for the other hind leg a bit. Follow the path of the guide closely so that the shape bends near the middle to create the joint. Only darken the lines for the giraffe's leg when you get the shape right. Add a bump at the bottom for the other joint and make the hoof wide.

Step 19: Use the last line under the body as a guide to draw the other hind leg the same way. A big part of the leg at the top will be blocked by the other hind leg, so don't overlap the shapes. Add the joint at the bottom and make the shape of the giraffe's foot wide.
