Step 1. Outline the body and head of the guinea pig.

First, define the outline of the drawing, denoting the shape of the head and body of the guinea pig with two overlapping egg-shaped ellipses. Next, draw some guidelines, dividing the guinea pig's muzzle into four parts. Use a V to define the position of the nose. In our case, the whole body of the guinea pig is turned slightly to the side. It is important to correctly draw the guidelines for the eyes.
