Materials

- Crayons | Colored Pencils | Markers (you choose)
- Black Marker (optional)
When you look at the drawing steps I’ve laid out, you’ll see that we begin with some basic lines and shapes. This is a fun way to get started because it helps you build a strong foundation for your giraffe. Once the outlines are in place, we’ll save the coloring for later, which allows you to focus on getting the shapes just right first. If you love the bold outlines in my drawing, try using a thin black marker to trace over your pencil lines once you’re happy with them. Remember, it’s all about having fun with your art, so let’s jump right into it! There are several steps to follow, and each one will help you create your very own giraffe drawing is the kawaii style!
