Tutorial on how to draw Piglins

 Piglins are pig- like mobs from the game of Minecraft. They inhabit a dimension called the Nether, in specific biomes. They love gold, and think all of it is theirs. They are equipped with either golden swords or crossbows, and will attack the player unless he or she is equipped with at least one golden piece of armor. Players can barter with them using gold ingots for items. The Piglin “inspects” the ingot for 6-8 seconds before dropping a random item. They also have other forms, such as the Hoglin. The Hoglin is a warthog-like mob. Piglins have a random chance to make a decision to hunt Hoglins.  Hoglins do not attack piglins unless provoked. Hoglins and Piglins both have baby variants! The baby piglin is a passive mob, and will not attack the player. However, when a player tries to barter with a baby piglin, it steals the gold ingot and runs away. It still inspects the ingot also. Baby Piglins ride and play with baby Hoglins. If there are more baby Piglins that Hoglins, the Piglins may stack onto a hoglin. 

In this tutorial, I provide step-by-step instructions on how to draw piglins.
