Quick Tip
To draw or sketch more confidently without shaky hands, practice drawing geometrically correct lines and circles.- Sheets of paper
- A pencil
- An eraser
- Some colors
- Draw a hexagon (1) for the head
- Draw two circles, one above the front thigh (2) and the other above the rear thigh (3)
- Connect both the circles with a quadrilateral (4), as shown in the figure
- Draw triangles for the thighs (5 and 6)
- Draw quadrilaterals for the legs (7, 9) and small conical feet (8, 10)
- Draw two triangles for the ears (11 and 12)
- Draw a U-shaped tail (13), as shown in the figure
- Now, draw the other pair of limbs; make a big triangle for the front thigh (14), and a smaller one for the feet (15)
- Similarly, draw another triangle for the rear thigh (16), a quadrilateral for the leg (17), and another small triangle for the rear feet (18)
- Connect the body and head with curved lines as shown in the illustration
- The shapes used are too blunt. Connecting them with curved lines will give a more continuous texture, and the parts will blend with each other
- Erase unnecessary lines, and make the figure look whole
- Draw large circular eyes, and make the pupils black
- Draw eyelids and eyebrows like those in the picture
- Sketch a conical-shaped black nose, and the jawline with whiskers on either side
- Do the detailing of the ears; show the distinction between the inner and outer ear
- Also, add those small lines to the feet, so they look like paws with distinct fingers
- Give a base coat of golden-yellow; refer to the image above
- While coloring, be very careful. Leave the under body and lower jaw white, as shown
- Add stripes to the face, body, and tail, and color the inner ears light pink
- You can also give a background color; you could paint it light-green to give the picture a forest theme
