Step 2: In the ears, draw two small leaf-like arcs from the head attaching to the tips of the arcs, as shown below.

Step 3: Draw the shoe-tip-like mouth like a continuation of the head with an open mouth, flared nose, and a horn above the nose. Draw a tongue in the mouth.

Step 4: To draw the eyes, draw a circle on one side of the head and another circle inside the outer one. Color the inside circle black leaving a small white dot at the center. Draw an eyebrow above the eye. Repeat on the other side, separated by the nose bridge arc, to make two eyes with eyebrows.

Let’s draw the Rhinoceros’ body and legs.

Step 5: From the left mid-lower part of the left ear, draw a curve and bend it downwards to make the back and the back leg. 

Step 6: From the same point draw an arc downwards as the shoulder.

Step 7: Draw the tail behind the back leg with a tufted end. 

Step 8: Draw the lower curve to complete the rhinoceros’ body, leaving a gap for one front leg and the back leg.
