Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Pig’s Two Ears

Start with a curved ear outline on the left, like a soft little droplet. Then draw the second ear on the right, keeping it similar in size but facing the other way.

Pro Tip: Leave enough space between the two ears so the pig’s head can fit later.

Step 2: Connect the Pig’s Head Outline

Start from the inside of the left ear and draw a gentle upward curve toward the right ear. Then extend a long curved line downward from below the left ear, and add a short curve under the right ear, leaving the bottom open for now.

Pro Tip: Keep the top curve smooth so the pig’s head looks round and soft.

Step 3: Add the Pig’s Facial Features

Draw a wide horizontal oval in the middle of the face for the pig’s big nose. Add two round eyes, two nostrils, a small eyebrow, and a gently smiling mouth.

Pro Tip: Place the nose centered below the eyes so the pig’s expression looks cute and balanced.

Step 4: Draw the Pig’s Body and Legs

From below the right ear, draw a large curve downward to form the round body. Add two short legs at the bottom, using small curved lines for the toes and belly connection.

Pro Tip: Make the body curve wide so the pig looks round, chubby, and cute.

Step 5: Add the Front Legs and Belly Line

Draw two front legs below the head, letting them connect naturally under the body. Then use a curved belly line to join the front and back legs, adding small curves at the feet for hooves.

Pro Tip: Keep the front legs short so the pig keeps a cute, rounded proportion.

Step 6: Add the Curly Tail

Draw a short curve extending from the right side of the body to start the tail. Then add a small spiral curl so the pig’s tail looks light and lively.

Pro Tip: Keep the tail small so the pig’s round body remains the main shape.

Fun Facts

Pigs are smart animals and can learn simple tasks quickly. Their curly tails make them easy to recognize in many children’s drawings. A pig’s round body and snout are perfect shapes for drawing for beginners.

Pin it now, Draw later!

Trace your finished pig with a marker when you are happy with the shape. You can color the body soft pink, make the nose a little darker, and add rosy cheeks for extra charm. Keep practicing this step by step drawing, and try making your next pig bigger, smaller, or smiling in a new way.
