Start by drawing lightly so that you can easily erase if there are mistakes. Continue by following the arrow step.
Step 1: Draw the Head and Wool Top
Start by drawing a rounded, slightly oval shape for the goat’s head. On top of the head, draw a bumpy, cloud-like shape to represent its woolly hair.
Step 2: Add the Goat’s Ears and Horns
On either side of the head, draw two leaf-like shapes with curved lines inside for the ears, pointing downwards. On top of the head, draw two curved, horn shapes that resemble wide, curved triangles pointing upwards and slightly outwards.
Step 3: Draw the Goat’s Body and Legs
Below the head, draw a larger, oval shape for the goat’s body, connecting it smoothly to the head with a short neck.
Draw four short, slightly angled lines extending downwards from the body for the legs. At the bottom of each leg, add a small, rounded hoof shape.
Finally, add a short, curved tail extending upwards from the back of the body.
Step 4: Add the Face Details of the Goat
Let’s give our Goat a friendly face!
- Inside the head, draw two large, oval shapes for the eyes with dots inside.
- Above the eyes, draw two small curved lines for the eyebrows.
- Below the eyes, draw a small, curved shape for the nose and a small, curved line below it for the mouth.
- Below the mouth, add a small, tufty shape to represent the beard.
Step 5: Color Your Cute Goat!
In nature, goats come in many colors, such as white, black, brown, grey, and even spotted! You can color the body a light brown, the woolly hair and ears a slightly darker brown, and the horns black or dark brown.

How to Fix Common Goat Drawing Mistakes
- Head or Body Too Small: Make sure the head and body are proportionate. If one is too small, erase and redraw it larger.
- Horns Missing or Incorrect Shape: Don’t forget the distinct curved horns! Check their shape and make sure they point upwards and outwards.
- Ears Too Small or Pointing Up: Goat ears in this style are typically leaf-shaped and hang downwards.
- Uneven Legs or Missing Hooves: Ensure all four legs are roughly the same length and thickness, and remember to add those small hoof shapes.
- Missing Tail, Face Details, or Goatee: Add the small, curved tail, the simple facial features (eyes, nose, mouth), and that characteristic little goatee to complete your goat.
Helpful Drawing Tips and Tricks For Kids
- Start with Light Lines: Sketch your shapes lightly with your pencil. This makes it easy to erase and adjust before you draw darker.
- Use Curved Lines: Goats have many rounded shapes. Try to use continuous, flowing lines for their body and head.
- Observe the Shapes: Pay close attention to the shapes of the head, body, ears, and horns in the picture to guide your drawing.
- Add Fur Texture: Use small, slightly wavy lines to add a hint of texture to the goat’s woolly hair and body.
- Keep it Simple and Fun: This is a cartoon goat, so don’t worry about adding too many tiny details. Focus on the main shapes and have fun!
Goat Fun Facts for Kids
- Curious Climbers: Goats are known for being very curious and excellent climbers! They can often be found exploring rocky hillsides and even climbing trees to get to tasty leaves.
- Talkative Animals: Goats communicate with each other using a wide variety of bleating sounds, as well as snorts and even screams! Each goat has its own unique “voice.”
- Amazing Eyesight: Goats have excellent eyesight, which helps them navigate tricky terrain and spot food from a distance. Their pupils are also rectangular, which gives them a wide field of vision!
- Cute Babies are Kids: Just like human babies are called babies, baby goats are called kids! They are known for being very playful, energetic, and sometimes quite mischievous!
- Provided Milk: For thousands of years, goats have been raised by humans for their milk, which can be made into cheese and yogurt.
Now it’s your turn! Grab a pencil, follow these steps, and draw your own cute goat.
