We'll begin by drawing the deer's cute, pointy ears. Use curved lines with a point in them, resembling the reference image. Connect them with a rounded line to form the top of the head.

Step 2

In this step, add the rest of the head outline beneath the ears. Use angular shapes to form the main outline, and create a rounded shape at the front for the deer's face.

Step 3

Now, it's time to draw the deer's body. Start with a curved line extending down from under the ear, forming the back. Add one more curved line under the face to begin the chest.

Step 4

We're building up the deer drawing nicely! Follow the back and chest lines you drew in the previous step to sketch the legs. The legs are thicker at the top and gradually become more angular. Connect the legs with a curved line to create the belly, and extend the chest line down.

Step 5

Now, draw the remaining legs on the other side of the body. Simply replicate the legs you drew earlier. Add a small, curved line for the tail.

Step 6

Let's focus on the deer's face. The eyes are small and sit on the sides of the face. Draw them accordingly. Add a curved line for the mouth under a solid, black nose. Create a snout by drawing a line over the nose and two thin lines between the eyes for bone structure.

With the face complete, add some final details. Use lines to add patterns to the inner ears, belly, tail, and legs. You can color the area underneath the head later and add spots to the deer. Feel free to add any personal touches you desire.
