Super detailed simple drawing tutorial of cute squirrel

1. First draw an oval to outline the squirrel’s head.

< p>2. Below the oval, use a series of curves to outline the lower jaw. Allow the lines to meet at jagged points to create the look of fur.

< p>3. Use a short curve to connect the jaw and the ellipse. Outline the top of the jaw with a rounded "M" shaped line.

< p>4. Erase the guide lines on the face.

< p>5. Use long arcs to outline the squirrel’s body. Continue connecting a series of jagged curves at the bottom.

< p>6. Extend a short curve from the head to form the neck. Continue with a long arc to form the arms. Draw a series of curved lines parallel to this line to form the opposite sides of the arms.

< p>7. Use a series of curved lines connected at jagged points to almost enclose a circle at the bottom of the figure. This forms the squirrels rump. Draw a curve for the back, connecting the arms to the hips.

< p>8. Draw a curved line to represent the opposite side of the hip, allowing for a bit of jagged fur at the bottom.

9. Use a series of long and short Curves draw the tuft of hair on top of the head, allowing the lines to connect at sharp points.

< p>10. Draw the ears by extending a set of curved lines on each side of the hair. Allow lines to meet at fillet points.

< p>11. Erase the guide lines on the ears and hair.

< p>12. Draw a teardrop shape to form each eye. Draw a circle inside the eye. Then draw a curved line across the bottom of the circle and two smaller circles near the top. Shade between the small circle and the line. Draw a few short curved lines at the top of each eye to form eyelashes.

< p>13. Draw a chamfered, rounded, slightly irregular triangle to form the nose. Draw a wide, rounded "W" shaped line to form the top of the mouth. Enclose an irregular shape under the peak of the "W" and draw a line in the middle of the shape. This creates the squirrels large teeth. Draw a "U" shaped line to complete the mouth and two curved lines to represent the tongue.

< p>14. Give the squirrel an acorn. Draw a curved, rounded, narrow rectangle to form the acorn cap. A narrow cylinder is closed over the cap to form the stem. Use a curved line to represent the far arm. Draw the squirrels hand, using narrow "U" shaped lines to form the fingers. Finally, outline the shape of the acorn itself with two curved lines.

15. Erase the guide on the acorn Wire.

< p>16. Draw a curved line above each eye to represent the eyebrows. Surround each foot with a series of curved lines so that the lines overlap and form the toes.

< p>17. Start drawing the squirrels tail by drawing a curved line from the hip to the face and extending another line from the side of the head.

< p>18. Draw a series of curved lines to surround the tail, some meeting at jagged points. Notice how the lines at the top of the tail overlap, creating a slit.

< p>19. Draw each ear in detail using two curved lines. Extend from the face to the arms, the arms to the buttocks, and the buttocks to the top of the tail.

< p>20. Color your cartoon squirrel.
