How to Draw a Goat Step By Step Instructions

Step 1 Draw the Goat’s Head 

The first step is to draw the head of the goat, which is a small round circle.

Step 2 Draw a Goat Body

Below the circle you drew in the last step, create an oval shape for the goat’s body.

Next, add two small curved lines to make the goat’s neck and connect your goat’s head to the body.

Fun Fact
There are so many fun facts about goats. However, one of the most surprising things is that China has the most goats in the world, with over 170 million goats!

Step 3 Create the Goat’s Nose and Muzzle

Now you want to draw the lower part of the head by adding a smaller oval shape from the round circle. This is called the muzzle.  

Step 4 Draw The Goat’s Fur

Next, add short strokes to the body of the goat. The easy way to do this is to draw wavy lines around the entire large oval you drew for the body.

Step 5 Make the Goat’s Legs

First, draw two long lines extending from the goat’s body to draw one side of the legs.

Fun Fact
Goats do not like getting wet. So when it rains, they will often seek shelter to avoid getting wet. 

Step 6 Draw the Top of the Head and Goat’s Tail

First, make the second set of legs with L-shaped lines that meet the first legs you drew in the previous step.

Create a cloud shape on top of the head of the goat to give him a tuft of head hair.

These extra small details make all the difference! Next, draw a short tail on the back of the goat’s body. This is done by creating a small oval shape.

Step 7 Draw the Goat’s Horns and Eye

Next up, draw two short horns on the top of the goat. These are easily made by drawing a pair of little lines from the side of the head, ending in a sharply pointed shape.

You also want to finish the legs by drawing a triangle shape for the hooves.

Now draw the goat’s eye with a circle and place it just below the fur on his head.

Step 8 Create the Goat’s Ears and the Eye and Fur Details

Draw a circle for the goat’s pupil with a smaller circle within the eye. Be sure to add horizontal pupils to make the eyes pop!

Now you want to draw two ears on each side of the goat’s head. These are made in a rounded oval shape.

To make the fur stand out, add a few wavy lines the same shape as the outside of his fur.

Step 9 Add the Final Details

Now it’s time to add a finishing touch or two by adding facial details. First, draw a curved line on the muzzle for the mouth.

Next, add a smaller curved line to the bottom of the head oval for the nose. And finally, add contour lines to the goat’s body and ear.
