How to draw a baby elephant step by step

Today our theme is how to draw a baby elephant.
I have never seen these elephants in real life, but I love looking at their photos.

Baby elephants are adorable, they are very cute. Very similar to the adult elephants, but with features inherent in the young of any animal – large head, relatively short torso, legs gangly. It is clear, that the calvess have no large tusks. But they are covered with that characteristic wrinkled folded elephant skin from the first days.
