How to Draw a Pig
This pig starts as a big round body with four short legs that taper to split hooves. Then come a big round head that overlaps the body with no neck, a flat snout with two oval nostrils and two rounded triangle ears on top, the front one tipping forward over the brow. The curly tail and the happy face come last, and they make the drawing look like a friendly farm pig.
