Before You Start

Step 1

Draw the Basic Shapes

Add the Nose and Legs

Build the capybara’s features.

  • Draw a large oval nose near the front of the head.
  • Add one lazy front leg under the head.
  • Sketch a small back leg under the body.
  • Keep the shapes soft and rounded.

The pose should look cozy and relaxed.

  • Trace the main outline.
  • Draw one closed eye using a curved line.
  • Add a small rounded ear.
  • Sketch a round pink-cheek area.
  • Draw tiny “Zzz” symbols above the head.

Now your capybara looks peacefully asleep.
