"How to draw a giraffe. Start with actually nostrils right here and the mouth. Make the nostrils curve over. Make this the whole part. Give him a bottom lip. And then come up to give him some eyes here. The rest of the head. And ears kind of like horse ears. Now giraffes have these cool things like this. Like little antennas. And that's basically it for the head. Then we come down with the neck. Remember neck gets a little fatter as it goes down and at some point you break it off into a leg. Long skinny legs you can just make him stand normal. And then there you have kind of a horse hoof. Got kind of a fat leg in the back. See everybody makes mistakes so don't ever worry about a mistake. Here you got a little bit of the mane thing going on up here. And then make the mane come down. The most important part is spots. You can never do spots wrong. Just so fun. And give him a little expression there. Here is our happy giraffe roaming free in the African plains."
