Pack your trunks.

We're headed to Africa where we're learning how to draw an elephant.

There are two possible ways to position your paper for drawing.

There is up and down and side to side.

Your Art teacher probably calls it portrait and landscape.

Your math teache prefers vertical and horizontal, but I like to call it hamburger and hot dog.

For today's drawing, we're going to position our paper hot dog or a cross?

Let's draw.

We begin with the eyes letter O. Followed by a letter C backwards.

A pupil here and here.

Next is the trunk one, two, three lines come down and up.

The tip of the nose is goin to look like a bubble letter E. It looks like this.

Down, up down up down up.

And connect The elephant's trunk is like a multi-tool with over 150,000 muscles.

It can be used for all sorts of tasks, from drinking water to breathing to lifting something as heavy as a lo or as light as a blade of grass.

for the rest of the trunk.

Come up.

And then a letter C backwards for the cheek.

A lower lip in and out.

Now up to the top of the head to add the hair.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

For the ears, we come up, down, point up, round and dash.

For the base of the ear.

Up stop.

Up stop.

Around around.

Bring a line down 1, 2, 3 and connect You can tel the different elephant species 1, 2, 3 and connect You can tel the different elephant species apart by the size and shape of their ears.

The African elephants ears are much larger than its cousins from India.

They're also shaped like the continent of Africa.

our other ear just sticks out over here.

Looks like this.

Now for the body.

First going to bring down the chest and then add our first leg a letter V down and out.

Over up, around and at a line.

Elephants can hear using their feet.

They can detect the seismic vibrations caused by other elephants.

Up to 20 miles away.

Our other leg goes right here down up a letter O, slightly tilted, so we see the underside of the foot iN and connect.

Good.

Now we're going to start from the back down around an iN for this leg one two down and iN out over up and n that line there.

Now we connect from the front leg to the back.

There's one more leg jus sort of tucked right back here.

Down out in now we're goin to add the toenails real easy.

Letter M and add one more letter m. Add one more letter M. Add one more and then a letter m for the knees.

We use the letter E as letter E. Letter E. Letter E. And now for the detail.

There's detail we can got a little bit of ground surface to some grass.

This is a real scribbly little line.

Like so.

Lastly, some eyebrows help with his expression.

Sign your name.

Take pride in your work.

There's your elephant.
