This critically endangered species used to dominate the Eurasian steppe zone. However, these days, they can only be found in some parts Kazakhstan and in Russia. Many centuries ago, the Saiga Antelope used to be a huge part of the wilderness in Mongolia and in China, but, sadly, you won’t be able to find one there today.

At the end of the 18th century, the hunters in Eastern Europe made the species go extinct. The average weight of an adult Saiga is 25-70 kilograms. The length reaches 140 centimeters. Unique features include super-long ears and a “clever” nose that filters out dust during summer and heats the air during winter.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
