Sheep Palm Art

 

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a sheep? Well you can do so, simply by using the palm of your hand. ✋🐑

 

To draw your sheep:

 

 Place your left hand on your piece of paper with your first set of finger bones spaced out on your paper and your thumb tucked into your hand

Draw round your hand

 Turn your piece of paper round so that your finger drawing is now at the bottom of your page

Place your left hand again on the piece of paper but this time on the top of your finger drawing. Make sure your fingers are again spaced out but have your thumb facing outwards like the image below

 

 Draw round your hand

Draw a line heading down and then curve it back with another line heading downwards for the face of the sheep similar to the image below. Add two circles for the eyes as well

 

 In the two eyes, you have drawn, add a small black circle in both of them and then a small crescent shape underneath for the mouth

Colour the face in except the mouth and eyes with a black pen

 

 On the top of the face, draw a small bubble for the sheep's head

Go round the outline of the sheep's body with a black pen whilst also adding a small oval for the tail as seen by the image below

Draw two sets of straight lines close together like the image below at the bottom of your sheep's body for the feet/hoofs

 

Add spirals on the body of your sheep ensuring you cover as much space as possible in your sheep's body

 

 Go round the outline of the feet and spirals on your sheep with a black pen

 

OPTIONAL: Just below the mouth of your sheep, add the word 'baaaaah' which would typically be the sound of what a sheep makes

 

You have made your own sheep palm art
