To draw a deer, follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. Draw the base of the deer’s body using three circles: one for the head, a larger one for the chest and belly, and a smaller one for the backside.
  2. Outline the upper body by connecting the circles with curved lines to form the neck, chest, belly, and back.
  3. Add details like the eyes (small circle in the head), ears, and short tail with an underside.
  4. Sketch the legs by first drawing small circles to mark the joints and hooves, then connect these to form the legs.
  5. Draw the antlers starting with two small horn-like shapes on the head, then add branches connected with stems.
  6. Refine the details of the ears, head, nose, mouth, and eyes. Shade the body lightly and add darker tones around the nose, chin, and legs.
  7. Erase unnecessary guidelines and finalize shading for a realistic effect.

Take your time with each step, and use light sketching to adjust shapes easily. Patience will help create a stunning deer drawing.
