In this simple guide, you will learn how to draw a baby deer. The instruction is very easy and includes only ten steps in detail.

We suggest you draw a baby deer using simple step-by-step instructions. A baby deer is easier to draw than a realistic one, because there are many cartoonish simple elements.

Thanks to these features, the deer has a funny look. Pay attention to the proportions of the cartoonish deer’s body. Baby deer has a huge head, pronounced facial features, a small torso and short limbs. Deer are large and tall, small and short. They belong to the group of artiodactyls and the deer family, which also includes roe deer, elk and fallow deer.

A distinctive feature of the representatives of this family is the presence of horns, which are characteristic of male deer. Animals shed their horns in the fall and grow back in the spring. Although the number of branches may increase with age, the age of the animal cannot be determined from the horns, since the growth and development of the horns can be influenced by environmental conditions, nutrition, and health of the animal.

Now proceed to the steps and depict the beautiful baby deer.
