This sheep begins with a bumpy cloud shape for the woolly body and a small oval for the face. Next come a woolly tuft, two ears that stick out sideways and four thin straight legs with little hooves. A short fluffy tail and a kind face finish the drawing.

Questions and answers
- How do I draw the fluffy wool?
- Draw a row of small bumps, one after another, all the way around the body until the line closes. Bumps of a similar size make the wool look soft and even.
- How do I keep the sheep from looking like a cloud?
- Draw the face as a separate smooth oval beside the body and give the sheep clear, thin legs underneath. The smooth face and the legs show it is a sheep.
