Step 6: Draw a series of lines that connect the major shapes to create a guide for the rest of the reindeer's body.

Step 7: Draw four lines under the body (two below each circle) as guides for the reindeer's legs. The caribou will be stepping forward, so draw one of the lines in front shorter and bent. Bend the lines on the right too to indicate where the joints in the legs will be.

That's it for the initial sketch! From this point on, press harder with your pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 8: Draw the reindeer's eye inside the head on the upper left side. The shape of the eye is similar to a little football. Shade the inside of the eye except for a tiny circle to represent glare. Add a few lines around the eye for the texture of the fur.

Step 9: Draw the reindeer's nostril as a wavy shape near the tip of the arc on the right. Shade the wavy shape and add a few lines around it for extra detail.
