Capybara study

Practice drawing capybara with clear contours and a few selected details. Tuck the rear haunch behind the front paws and connect the short neck. Place the small ears, eye and nostril; add a little gray below the chin.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Block in a broad body oval and a smaller blunt head.

2. Build the overlaps

   Tuck the rear haunch behind the front paws and connect the short neck.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Place the small ears, eye and nostril; add a little gray below the chin.

A small thing to tryKeep the muzzle broad rather than tapering it to a mouse-like point.
