I'm going to show you how to draw a pig. So, we're going to use our oval shapes again, which come in so handy. I'm going to do it very lightly this time.

Next, we want to add a circle to the front, like so, and then, a kind of fat sausage shape about here. And we want to add a funny little bump at the back here, and it would be obvious what that is. Next, I want to add a piggy's snout, so we come up here like this, down, and then we want to curve it and join it to the bottom there.

So, we want to do a shape, a bit like that, and we want the other one to be about here. Then, we have got to do the same on the back, but these are shorter and fatter little stubs on the back, so we make them much wider and much shorter on the back, and another one here. Now, we can start putting in a bit more detail.

For instance, I did that very faintly so we're going to put that in a bit stronger now, and we're actually going to add a tail. Again, we're going to add more detail to that, but I'm not going to worry about that too much. We now need to refine this snout a little bit, so I'm going to give it a little bump on the end, and a couple of creases it, like so.

Now, at this stage, you might want to get rid of some of your guidelines that you put in originally. We need to shape the back of the foot. Now, remember, this was originally just a guideline, so we actually use that and come in, then out, and then the bottom part stays pretty much as it is.

Now, for the front ones, same thing again, we use these that we originally placed. Now, I'm going to add a little bit of shadowing in because it's all looking very flat at the moment, so a bit in the ears, put a bit of shading under here. Now, I'm going to put a little bit of shadowing underneath, bit of ground on our pig.

Now, I just want to add, just a final touch to the back of the pig, because they are actually slightly, slightly hairy. And there's your pig! .
