In this drawing lesson, you will learn to draw a squirrel using basic shapes like ovals. We build the animal step-by-step, from the head to the fluffy tail.

Stappen

Stap 1

Draw two ovals: a small one for the head and a larger slanted one below it for the body.

Stap 2

Connect the two shapes with curved lines for the neck and draw a long curl for the tail.

The neck lines connect the head to the body and a large line indicates the tail.
Stap 3

Place small guide lines for the ears, the chubby cheeks, and the spots for the paws.

Stap 4

Now draw the shape of the short paws and give the snout a small round shape.

Stap 5

Make the cheeks nice and thick and round, and draw the small triangular ears on top.

Stap 6

Draw the toes on the paws and make the tail much thicker with a wavy line.

Frequently asked questions

Which pencil is best to use?
Start with a graphite pencil and don't press too hard, so you can easily erase the guide lines later.
How do I make the tail extra fluffy?
At the end, draw short, quick strokes along the edge of the tail for a hairy effect.
What if my circles aren't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter at all, because real animals are never perfectly round either!
Can I also color the squirrel?
Of course, use brown and beige colors to make it look real.
