How to Draw a Gazelle
This gazelle is in the middle of a jump, and it starts with a long oval for the body. A neck and a head with a pointed nose go up to the left, then come long thin legs, two reaching forward and two kicking back. The horns curve back over the head, and a short tail, a big eye, a smile and the side stripe finish the drawing.

Questions and answers
- How do I make the gazelle look like it is jumping?
- Point the front legs forward and the back legs backward, so none of them stand straight down. Leave a gap of paper between the hooves and the ground.
- How do I draw the gazelle's horns?
- Draw two long, thin curves that start on top of the head and bend back. Then add a few short lines across them for the rings.
