Steps in Drawing a Springbok
Step 1:
Draw a circle for the head of the springbok. Then, add a curved line under the circle for the neck. Draw another circle adjacent to the first one for the body of the springbok.
Step 2:
Draw two long, curved lines on top of the head circle to form the horns of the springbok.
Step 3:
Add two small, pointy ears on top of the head circle.
Step 4:
Sketch the facial details of the springbok. Draw two small circles for the eyes and a small triangle for the nose. Add lines for the mouth and the eyebrows.
Step 5:
Draw the legs and hooves of the springbok. Springboks have slender and long legs, so make sure to sketch them accordingly. Add the details of the hooves as well.
Step 6:
Add the curved stripes on the side of the springbok, which is one of its distinct features. Also, add the white underbelly of the springbok.
Step 7:
Erase the lines that are not needed and use a black pen or fine-tipped marker to outline the drawing. Add more depth by putting shadows on the appropriate places.
That’s it! You have successfully drawn a springbok. Don’t worry about the outcome of the drawing. Practice makes perfect, so keep practicing until you can perfect the art.
