Here's a step-by-step guide on how to draw a camel:

### Materials:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
- Optional: Colored pencils or markers

### Step-by-Step Instructions:

**1. Draw the Basic Body Shape**
- Start by drawing an oval shape for the camel’s body, tilted slightly upward. This will form the torso.
- For the head, draw a smaller oval or circle at a distance from the body. Connect the head and body with a slightly curved line to form the neck.

**2. Sketch the Hump**
- On top of the body, draw a large, curved shape for the camel’s hump. Camels typically have one or two humps depending on the species (dromedary = one hump, Bactrian = two).

**3. Draw the Legs**
- Camels have long, slender legs. Start by drawing four straight lines extending down from the body, and then add a small curve at the joints (knees and ankles).
- For the feet, draw flat, oval-like shapes at the bottom of each leg to represent the camel’s padded hooves.

**4. Add the Face and Features**
- For the face, add a snout by extending the head with a short, rounded rectangle.
- Draw the eyes near the top of the head, adding almond shapes with small dots for pupils.
- Add two small nostrils and a curved line for the mouth, giving the camel a calm or slightly smiling expression.

**5. Add the Ears and Tail**
- Camels have small, pointed ears, so draw two triangles on top of the head.
- For the tail, draw a small, thin tail with a tuft of hair at the end coming from the back.

**6. Refine the Shape**
- Go over your sketch, erasing unnecessary lines.
- Refine the legs and joints by adding curves to make them look more natural. Camels have strong yet lean legs.
- Emphasize the shape of the hump, the thickness of the neck, and any other features.

**7. Add Details**
- Add fur texture by drawing small, wispy lines along the camel’s neck, body, and hump.
- For the hooves, add a slight separation to show the camel’s two toes.
- Draw wrinkles or folds along the legs and belly to make the camel more realistic.

**8. Background (Optional)**
- If you want, you can add sand dunes and a desert landscape to complete the scene.

**9. Final Touches**
- Trace over your final sketch with a pen or darker pencil.
- Add shading to give depth, focusing on the belly, inside of the legs, and under the neck.

**10. Color (Optional)**
- Camels are usually light brown or sandy in color. You can color the body in shades of beige, tan, or brown, and use darker shades to emphasize shadow areas. The desert can be colored in yellows, oranges, and soft reds.

With these steps, you’ll have a complete drawing of a camel!
