Good day, artist 🥰

Welcome to another simple animal drawing practice. In today’s beginner exercise, we will learn simple steps to create this cute red panda.

I have repeated regularly throughout this Blog, but this is worth repeating. Examining the reference photo carefully before actually drawing is really important for beginner artists to train our eyes. Therefore, please spend a minute to imagine which shapes that this red panda is formed 😁

If you are new to the concept of drawing using SHAPES in this Blog, please have a look at the Blog Navigation. You will have an overview of how this Blog is designed to help absolute beginner artists training their eyes and hands to start their art dreams. Particularly, the concepts of using basic SHAPES to draw anything is explained in detail in the two posts of the Drawing Level 0. If you are new to drawing and don’t know how to draw anything you want, these Drawing Level 0 posts are helpful.

Step 5: Coloring

This above colored version is just an example for your reference. As we have made it to Drawing Level 3, playing with your own color palettes and even beginning to adjust some small details in order to boost your creativity is a great step to find your own art style.

If you want to learn more about how to color, the drawing practices belonging to Level 1 and Level 2 may help you a bit. I shared beginner-friendly guidelines of how to color your artworks in those posts. Please check them out 😍

Another great way to improve your coloring skills and get more creative is to play with coloring books. I also provide some printable coloring sheets for you to consider. You can have a look at them by accessing my Ko-fi shop
