The ability to draw animals is a special art that anyone can learn if desired. When drawing these living creatures, it is important to remember that animals are very mobile, so the whole dynamism of their behavior should be conveyed in the picture. Accordingly, the more actively the animal behaves in the natural environment, the more difficult it is to draw. Perhaps one of the most popular representatives of the fauna, which is most often tried to portray, is the hare.
Many people ask: “How to draw a hare so that it looks beautiful and looks like a living one?” To do this, you need to perform several standard stages of drawing. And the hare will look like a living one.
Before you draw a hare, you need to decide which animal you want to draw: a cartoon or an ordinary long-eared. The steps that will have to be taken during drawing in order to make the image beautiful and accurate depend on this choice.
Consider the first option (if you want to draw a cartoon hare with a simple pencil).
Then you will have a logical question: “How to draw a hare with a pencil?” In this case, you can first draw the outline of the animal's face. Then draw all the details: eyes, nose, ears, mouth and teeth. The next step will be the image of the legs and body of the animal. Then you need to add the hind legs and finish the missing small details of the animal's appearance: a forelock, claws, fur and others.
It’s more difficult to portray a real hare, because in this picture there will be more details. In addition, it is necessary to make the animal as similar as possible to the present, because only in this case the drawing will turn out beautiful, finished and will attract attention. For all this to work out, you need to know how to draw a hare in stages.
The first step to a successful image of the conceived animal will be the designation of its body parts. This is best done using ovals. In other words, first outline with ovals and circles where your hare will have a head, where its body, and where its paws. At this stage, you should decide in which position the animal will be depicted, whether it will be drawn in motion or in a static position.
How to draw a hare completely? To do this, it is necessary to connect the obtained ovals with smooth curved lines to give the desired shape to the body of the animal. It is also important to pay attention to the proportionality of the image. After the hare's body shapes are drawn, we proceed to the image of smaller details: eyes, nose, ears. Since we try to draw the most believable animal, at the end of the image it is necessary to identify the shadows, as well as to work out the hare's hair. To make the fur beautiful, it is necessary to apply short parallel strokes (approximately 0.5-1 cm in length) with a pencil, adjusting the pressure. Accordingly, you need to put more pressure on the pencil where the shadow falls on the hare's hair. In the same place where the skin of the animal is bathed in the sun, strokes should be light.
So, now you know how to draw a hare, and you see that the process is not so complicated. The main thing in it is to enjoy the drawing itself! And then everyone without exception will admire your image!
