Description: Hello people, and whatever or whoever else comes to Dragoart, this is going to be the last submission for the day and what we will be doing is learning how to draw a hippo for kids, step by step. Even though these extra-large animals are incredibly cute, they are actually not friendly at all. They may look adorable when playing in the mud and water, but don’t invade their space because a hippo is a very territorial animal. I have a few hippos on the site so talking about this species again gets kind of boring. All I can really do is shut up, and let you get busy as you learn how to draw a hippo for kids. I’m not going to return today with anymore but I think you will enjoy all the tutorials that went up today. Thanks guys and enjoy!
