Step 2: Ears and ossicones

Draw 2 incomplete oval shapes for each ear on each side of the top of the head.

On the space in between the 2 ears, draw the giraffe's ossicones, as 2 cylindrical shapes ending with a circle each.

N.B: The ossicones of the giraffe are something similar to horns or antlers of different animals.

Now, grab the colors of your choice, and start giving some color to your masterpiece.

Tip: If you are using colored pencil and would like to achieve a 3D effect as the one in my drawing, pick a darker shade for the color you pick and go over some parts of the drawing with this darker shade as shown in the final picture, and try to blend the two colors together well on paper by easing the pressure on the pencil tip as you go towards the lighter parts.
