How to Draw a Goat
This goat begins with a long slim body and a neck that rises to a head pointing right. A low round rock goes under the front, and four thin legs follow, two of them with their hooves on the rock. The curved horns, the beard, the short tail and a happy face come last and make the drawing look like a goat.

Questions and answers
- How do I draw the goat's horns?
- Draw two short curves that start on top of the head and bend back toward the neck. Keep them small and close together, with one a little behind the other.
- How do I draw split hooves?
- At the bottom of each leg, draw a small block for the hoof and then a short line down the middle of it. That line splits the hoof into two toes.
