Reindeer Sketching Video Tutorials
Below you’ll find a few different versions of my demonstrations of sketching a reindeer, from a 4-minute speed sketch to a full 120-minute narrated workshop. Enjoy!
4-minute speed sketching demo
Here’s a 4-minute demo of the process I use to create a realistic-looking sketch of a reindeer. Grab your copy of the Reindeer Sketching Template (as seen below the videos) to follow along.
120-minute tutorial (2019)
In this video, I share a slideshow about reindeer and caribou biology and then go through my step-by-step sketching tutorial.
90-minute tutorial (2018)
Below you’ll find the full 90-minute tutorial that I created on Facebook that includes fun facts about reindeer and lots of info about their anatomy to help you draw them even more realistically. As a bonus, at the very end, I ‘sing’ the holiday song, Jingle Bells, in American Sign Language!
