Hamsters are wonderful animals. They are great for honing the skills of aspiring artists. The body structure of the hamster seems simple, but at the same time it has certain features. Having received the basic skills of how to draw a hamster, you can subsequently improve your drawing and make it more realistic.
Today we’ll try to draw a cartoon hamster. You will see - it is very easy! Step-by-step instructions are very affordable and suitable for both adults and children. Let's start
Preparation for work
We will draw with a simple pencil, and color the resulting drawing with anything: paints, felt-tip pens, colored pencils. You can leave a black and white hamster. So we need a simple pencil of medium softness, paper (preferably drawing or landscape, but of good quality). For the hamster's mustache, you can take a special thin mechanical pencil - it will be more realistic, but you can do it with the usual one.
How to draw a hamster in stages
Step one. Draw a circle. This will be the head of the hamster. Try not to press too hard on the pencil - draw with thin, light dashed lines, so that if necessary it is easier to remove. Attach a large elongated “U” to the bottom of the circle. This will be the body of the hamster. Then you need to take an eraser and erase the inner lower part of the circle that touches the body.
Step Two In the upper part of the head, now connected to the body, draw two small circles for the eyes. One should be slightly smaller than the other. If before you draw a hamster, you decide that it will be a girl, then make her long eyelashes. Then, with a pencil, darken the eyes over the entire 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 one, draw a small inverted triangle. Then, with a thin eraser, gently erase its upper side - you get a nose. Under the spout we draw two smooth semicircles. They look like the letter "E", which "fell" to the left. This will be the hamster's upper lip.
Step Four In the middle from the bottom of the letter "E", drawn in the previous step, we make a slightly pointed "U". As you may have guessed, this is the mouth. And now draw a mustache for the hamster - three smooth lines coming out of the cheeks.
Step Five In the upper part of the head, draw two large circles to make ears. They will also have an inner contour for extra volume and realism.
Step Six Two more U-shaped squiggles will be the front legs folded on the abdomen. If you look at the picture, it becomes clear how to make them. And below the narrow ovals we draw the hind legs.
Seventh step. We add drawings to our hamster: a little wool on the abdomen, claws on the legs, we draw more contours. You can draw some thing that he will hold in his hands.
Step Eight. We take paints, colored pencils, felt-tip pens and paint 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 drawing.
Now you know how to draw a hamster with a pencil. Look how cute she is, isn't she?
