Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Back and hump
Start near where the head will go and draw a short line that dips down. Then curve up into a big, round hump and sweep the line down to the rump, ending with a tiny curl for the tail.
Step 3: The head
On the left, draw a rounded head shape with a flat, friendly nose at the front. Add a small bump at the top right for the ear and finish with a curve underneath for the chin.
Step 4: The fluffy neck
Start at the chin and draw a wavy, bumpy line down to show shaggy fur. Let it curve at the bottom and head to the right, toward the belly.
Step 5: Front legs
Draw two long legs going down from the bottom of the neck. Give each one a wide, round foot, and let the back leg peek out behind the front one.
Step 6: Belly and back legs
Draw a gentle curve for the belly, from the front legs toward the back. Add two more legs with round feet, and draw a long line down the back of the rump to the last foot.
Step 7: Face details
Add a round dot for the eye, a small dash for the nostril, and a short curved smile under the nose. Draw a little line inside the ear.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a two-hump camel
- Draw the back as one smooth, flowing line so the hump looks round and the rump slopes down gently.
- The legs are the trickiest part. Draw the front pair first, and let one overlap the other so they look like they are walking.
- For the fluffy neck, make small wavy bumps instead of a smooth line. Keep them short and similar in size.

Two-hump camels are called Bactrian camels. Their humps store fat, not water, and the camel can live off that fat when food is hard to find.
