Hamsters are wonderful animals. They are great for honing the skills of beginning artists. The structure of the hamster's body seems simple, but at the same time it has certain characteristics. Having received basic skills on how to draw a hamster, you can later improve your drawing and make it more realistic.
Today, let's try to draw a cartoon hamster. You'll see - it's very easy! Step-by-step instructions are very accessible and suitable for both adults and children. Let's start?
Preparation for work
We will paint with a simple pencil, and paint the resulting drawing - anything: paints, markers, colored pencils. You can leave a black and white hamster. So we need a simple pencil of medium softness, paper (better drawing or landscape, but of good quality). For a hamster's whiskers, you can take a special thin mechanical pencil - this will be more realistic, but you can get along with the usual.
How to draw a hamster in stages
Step one. Draw a circle. It will be the head of a hamster. Try not to press strongly on the pencil - draw with thin, light dashed lines, so that if necessary, it is easier to remove them. To the bottom of the circle, attach a large elongated "U". This will be the body of a hamster. Then you need to take an eraser and erase the inner lower part of the circle that touches the body.
Step two. At the top of the head, connected now with the body, draw two small circles for the eyes. One must be slightly less than the other. If before you draw a hamster, you decided that it will be a girl, then make her long cilia. Then darken the pencil eyes throughout the area, except for the middle - this highlight will be the pupil.
Step three. Under the eyes, but not in the middle, but a little closer to the smaller, draw a small inverted triangle. Then, with a thin eraser, gently erase its upper side - it turned out the nose. Under the nose we draw two smooth semicircles. They are like the letter "E", which "fell" to the left. This will be the upper lip of the hamster.
Step four. In the middle of the bottom of the letter "E", drawn in the previous step, we make a little pointed "U". As you may have guessed, this is the mouth. And now draw a hamster mustache - three smooth dashes emerging from the cheeks.
Step five. At the top of the head, draw two large circles to make the ears. They will have an inner contour for additional volume and realism.
Step Six. Two more squiggles in the shape of "U" will be the front paws, folded on the abdomen. If you look at the picture, it becomes clear how to make them. And from below we draw the hind legs with narrow ovals.
Step Seven. Add to our hamster sketches: a little wool on the abdomen, claws on the paws, more strongly guide the outlines. You can draw something that he will hold in his hands.
Step eight. We take paint, colored pencils, markers and color the animal. Do not be afraid to experiment, use several shades: for example, dark and light brown, sand, golden, reddish. This will only benefit the picture.
Now you know how to draw a hamster pencil. Look, what a cutie turned out, is not it?
