How to draw
Mark two ovals and shade, leaving two white spots for highlights in each.
Draw a curved trunk under the details.
Draw the rounded cheeks of the elephant. With an arc, show the crown and part of the head on the left. Add a tuft. It consists of several strokes.
Draw C-shaped ears. Inside each, mark a small horizontal line. Under the trunk, designate a rounded chest.
Draw the front legs. The one closest to you looks like a cylinder, and at the bottom there are arcs that represent claws. The detail behind is identical to the first, only slightly smaller and not fully visible.
Show the elephant’s belly using a convex segment.
Draw the second pair of legs in the same way as the first. Draw a curved line to make the back and back of the torso. The tail of an elephant is a small segment with a few strokes at the end.
Outline the drawing with a black pen or liner. Erase the auxiliary sketch with an eraser.
Fill in the elephant’s ears with a pink pencil, leaving some free space in the upper parts.
