Weird knobby things on the top like antennas:Īnd Voila! Giraffe head. They have a basically diamond-shaped head: I’m not trying to create an exact image of a giraffe head, but an overall impression of giraffiness, so some features will be exaggerated.
Let’s see what a giraffe head looks like: Image from. Generally, with the head, I do the same thing I did with the body, which is to pick out the most prominent features and start there. Then to draw the body and neck, and we have a basic giraffe body without a head: You cannot copy/paste like this when you draw on paper: I drew one leg and copied/pasted it three more times, which is why I love drawing in Illustrator. The main features of a giraffe are a roundish body, long legs and a very long neck.
They are strange looking, aren’t they? Step 2: The Body
This picture gives a pretty good idea of what they look like from the front and side: Image from. It may seem like overkill to research giraffes when I’m just doing a simple giraffe drawing, but when drawing something that exists, I find it’s best to look at the real thing for inspiration lest you end up with a giraffe with the head of a lion. When you see them all together like that, you can probably guess that they were done by the same person. They’re all different, but together, they represent my drawing style. Here are some other animals I’ve drawn (note the goldfish), so you have an idea of what style we’ll end up with: I’m not going to draw a realistic giraffe. How about a giraffe?Ĭontrary to the title, this post probably won’t help you draw a giraffe. I’m going to show you how I draw stuff on the computer in Illustrator. This week, The Daily Post wants me to detail a three to five step process, and illustrate each of the steps with something visual.
