Are you excited to start drawing? First, I like to create basic outlines to shape my kawaii elephant. This helps me see how everything fits together before adding any details. After the outlines are done, I’ll add some shading to give my drawing more depth and personality. Remember, while I’ll share my color choices with you, it’s totally fine to choose your own colors! This is your artwork, so let your imagination shine! You have a total of six steps to follow, and each one will help you create a super cute elephant that’s all your own. Enjoy the process and have fun!
