Look at this cute, chubby animal! It is a baby elephant. He is not big and tall like the grown-up elephants you see in zoos or books. He is still very small — but he will grow up to be huge one day.

The baby elephant is lying down on the grass. His belly is resting on the soft green ground. His legs are tucked under him. He looks very relaxed and comfortable.

He is looking straight ahead — right at you. His eyes are soft and calm. He is not running around or playing. He is just resting quietly.

Maybe he just ate a big meal of leaves and grass. Now he is taking a nice, peaceful nap or just enjoying the warm sun. He looks very happy and content.

This elephant is still a baby. His tusks are very short — just tiny little teeth poking out from his mouth. Grown-up elephants have long, curved tusks. But this little one has just started growing his.

His trunk is also short — shorter than a grown-up elephant's trunk. A trunk is an elephant's long nose. Now, let’s follow the instructions to learn how to draw this simple elephant.
