Drawing Animal 14: Squirrel

Happy December, my artist friend ❄️😆

I wish you and your family a cozy winter.

Thank you for joining me (again) on this week’s animal drawing practice for beginner artists. Today, we will go through simple steps to create this squirrel 🐿️

As usual, please spare one or two minutes to examine the following reference photo. Drawing from references is a crucial process for absolute beginner artists training our eyes in order to figure out the simple shapes needed to form an object.

If you like to practice drawing more, please access Blog Navigation and choose drawing topics you love. This Blog is designed to help beginner artists starting their art dreams by offering a variety of beginner-friendly tutorials of several levels. If you have just started drawing and don’t know how to start, the two posts of Drawing Level 0 are worth reading. 

In addition, exercises of Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2 include detailed coloring guidelines. The animal drawing series of Level 3, including this week’s squirrel, omitted the detailed coloring steps because I want you to play with your own color palettes and find your art style 🥳
