How to Draw a Goat

The domestic goat is our subject of drawing in this activity. It doesn’t have a very curvy body but a well-built one. Little things such as the horns, hooves, tails, ears and nostrils need to be done meticulously for completing the figure. It is good to know that it is an animal that provides us with meat, milk, clothes, fuel, etc.
