When it comes to hippos, you must be very familiar with them. Big mouth, chubby body, sometimes silly look, make people feel it is not too smart look. Do you know? Its nearest "relative" is actually a whale!

The hippo's mouth is so wide open, will it swallow a person in one gulp? This worry is completely superfluous, although the hippopotamus bite force is huge, but the hippopotamus only like to eat grass, and the hippopotamus character is very gentle, will not take the initiative to attack other animals.

Can that guy get up close and personal with a hippo? It is better not to. Although the hippopotamus is relatively gentle, but you can not get too close to it, because of its large size, weight can reach more than 6,000 pounds, accidentally touched, people will not be able to stand easy to get hurt.

Being in the water almost all day, that hippo must be a good swimmer? Hippos can't swim, only dive. During the day, the hippo must stay in the water or in a moist habitat because its skin is so sensitive that it dries out if it is out of the water for long periods of time. It sleeps on the shore at night.

For today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw an adult hippo. It has its mouth wide open and appears to be roaring loudly. It's also a bit scary even though we know full well that it eats grass!

Guys do you like this big guy who lives in tropical Africa? It is a little bit difficult to draw it. If you are interested in this huge animal, follow the tutorial and try it!
