Drawing a cute gerbil in 8 steps

Animals
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a super fast and fluffy gerbil. Grab your pencil and eraser, because we are going to work together. Using simple shapes, we will create a real little desert rat step by step!
1
Basic shapes of a gerbil: two ovals for the head and the body.
Draw two ovals that slightly touch each other: a small one for the head and a larger one for the body.
2
Lines connecting the head and the body with a long tail line.
Connect the two ovals with two soft lines for the neck and draw a long, curved line for the tail.
3
Guide circles for the cheek, ear, and hind leg of the gerbil.
Draw circles in the places where the gerbil's hind leg, cheek, and ear should go.
4
Sketch of the paws and the snout of the gerbil.
Shape the paws and the snout by drawing small arcs and lines.
5
Details of the face and a thicker tail for the gerbil.
Now draw a small shiny eye, a little nose, and make the ears and the tail a bit thicker.
6
Drawing of the paws with small toes.
Draw the small toes on the front paws and finish the hind leg firmly.
7
Details such as nails and fur texture on the gerbil.
Add small hairs and nails to make your gerbil look extra real and fluffy.
8
The finished drawing of a gerbil without guide lines.
Erase the guide lines and trace the outer lines extra thick for a beautiful result.
