Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Deer (Cartoon)" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

Written step-by-step video tutorial:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a small, curved line for the deer's eye. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. When you get the shape right, darken the line and make it thicker. The overall shape of the curved line should be similar to a half-circle.

Step 2: Inside the eye, draw a small circle for the iris. The circle for the iris should be close to the right side of the eye. Above the deer's eye, draw a curved line for the eyebrow.

Step 3: Inside the iris, off to the side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. In the middle of the iris, draw a big dot for the deer's pupil.

Step 4: Draw a line that wraps around the top, left side of the eye for the front of the deer's head. Pay attention to the curvature of the line, along with the distance from the eye.

Step 5: Below the front of the deer's head, draw an arc-like line for the muzzle. Curve the line on the bottom upward to create a smile.
