Why This Pig Has So Much Character
The pig is drawn in a semi-realistic style, with wrinkles above its eyes and on its snout, small upright ears and a big round belly. It stands on a grassy patch full of little tufts. Behind it is a wooden shed with a shingled roof, plank door and window, which is great for careful coloring. The large body is perfect for practicing shading.

What Is a Pot-Bellied Pig?
The pot-bellied pig originally comes from Southeast Asia, mainly Vietnam. It’s much smaller than a regular farm pig. Its trademarks are a low-hanging belly, a slightly swayed back and a wrinkly face. Many pot-bellied pigs are black or gray, though some are spotted. You’ll often see them at petting zoos, animal sanctuaries or as pets – and like all pigs, they’re smart and curious.
