How to Draw Sheep & Lambs in a Meadow – Simple for Young Kids and Preschoolers

Step 1

Draw a Letter ‘U’-like shape for the face of the sheep.

Step 2

Draw a dot for each eye. Draw a letter ‘Y’ shape for the nose.

Step 3

Draw letter ‘v’ shaped ears.

Step 4

– Then draw wiggly lines all around the sheep – in a circle.

Step 5 – You Can Then Use the Above Techniques to Draw Sheep in a Field

– The sheep we drew, is the one in the middle. Draw his legs with wiggly lines. Draw 2 ovals (filled in) at the bottom of the legs for hooves.

– All the sheep basically look the same so you can pretty much do what you did for the first sheep, but in different sizes and shapes.

– A few of the sheep are slightly different, it is are those ones that we are showing you how to do now.

– Draw 2 curved lines in the back for the fence. You can connect them with some straight lines…for fence posts.

Step 6

– Add a few more details…such as the bottoms of the trees, a few eyes, ears, and heads.
