Rhinoceros study

Practice drawing rhinoceros with clear contours and a few selected details. Add the sturdy legs and overlap the far pair behind the near legs. Draw two horns, ears, a small eye and one shoulder fold; gray only beneath the jaw.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Join a broad body oval to a lowered wedge-shaped head.

2. Build the overlaps

   Add the sturdy legs and overlap the far pair behind the near legs.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Draw two horns, ears, a small eye and one shoulder fold; gray only beneath the jaw.

A small thing to tryStart the large horn at the nose and make the second horn visibly smaller.
