  • Start with a simple oval shape. This is the reindeer's head.
    The next step is to draw straight lines from the bottom of the reindeer's head creating a long neck.

  • Draw a sideways U from the short line of the neck around to the bottom of the belly. We are drawing the reindeer from a side angle.
    Step 2 Draw Reindeer Body
  • Now add an eye and the reindeer’s nose. This certainly can be a red nose reindeer.
    Step 3 Draw Reindeer Belly
  • Draw a loop off the end of the head. Add another smaller leaf shape as the inside of the reindeer's ear. Draw a second ear on the top of the head. Add a small line under the head on the chest as the mane.

  • Next, we're adding legs to the forward-facing side of the reindeer. Add both a front leg and a hind leg as well as a hoove. Also, add a small tail.
