This document provides step-by-step instructions for drawing the animated character Gromit. It describes adding details like legs, feet, ears and tail to the basic oval body shape. The instructions then guide the reader to form the head using overlapping circles and adding features like eyes and nose. The final step is to erase guidelines and add shading to complete the drawing of Gromit.
