How to draw a donkey - Let's get started!

 

It's important at this stage to find a picture of a donkey to use as a reference to position the eyes and the nostrils. Remember to always draw a mid-line to divide the head in two symmetrical parts and a horizontal lines do help you position correctly the facial features.

 

Reference will be also needed to learn where this animal has fur and other things like the color of the mane.

Once you have sketched the snout and the eyes in your drawing is practically done! Now it's time to start adding a few details to mark it more realistic. Again this is where a good reference image comes really in handy.

So start adding small pencil strokes to the head and body, particularly to the outline, to make it look furry. Slowly add the fur all around and try to emphasize shapes, shadows and muscles where possible.

As a last step I have added a bit of shadow with a digital brush but you can use a very soft pencil to achieve a similar result. Color the hooves black as the tip of the tail and your drawing should be beautiful!!
