Step 1 of 7. Draw a big circle for the pig's head.
All 7 steps
Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.
1. Draw a big circle for the pig's head.
2. Add two pointy ears that flop out at the top.

A tip for drawing a pig
The snout is the most important part: a wide oval in the middle of the face with two holes in it. Put the eyes just above the snout, close to it, and the ears right at the top of the head so they flop outward like little flags.
Change it up
Once your pig is down, make it yours:
- Add mud splashes on the legs.
- Draw a baby piglet beside it.
- Give it a flower behind one ear.

How it was made: Peabody drew this pig in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
