How to Draw a Springbok
This springbok starts with a long oval body and a neck that turns so its face looks straight at you. Thin legs, ears, eyes and two short horns come next. The dark band on its side and the line from each eye to the mouth go in last, because they are what make it look like a springbok.

Questions and answers
- How do I draw springbok horns?
- Draw two short curves that rise from the top of the head, bend outward a little and then turn in at the tips, like the shape of a lyre. A few small lines across them show the ridges.
- Why does the face look at me instead of forward?
- This springbok turns its head back over its shoulder, so you see its whole face. That makes it easier to draw both eyes and gives it a friendly look.
