Add a vertical oval to the front (for the shoulders) and a circle in the back (for the hips).

Step 3

If we want to include the third dimension in our drawing, we need to plan the perspective first. Draw a vertical line towards the "ground", about half of the pig's torso's height. Then draw a cross on the ground using perspective.

Add a huge, circular head right in the front. It should be slightly narrower than the rest of the body. I know the pig sketch looks a bit funny at the moment, but this is the base of the outline of a pig.
