The beaver is a rodent mammal that lives in Europe and North America. This animal has a very recognizable appearance and often becomes a character in children's books and cartoons. A pair of long upper teeth, sticking out as if from under the nose, give his muzzle a comic look. A wide flat paddle tail and webbed feet are also characteristic elements of his appearance. The beaver has a rather simple rounded body shape and thick shiny fur. Due to its semi-aquatic lifestyle, the beaver is often depicted as swimming in the water or building a hut on the river.
It is necessary
- - drawing paper;
- - pencil, eraser;
- - crayons / crayons.
Instructions
Step 1
A square sheet of paper works well for a beaver image. To make the drawing process easier, you should divide the beaver figure into several simpler components.
Step 2
Begin your drawing by drawing three intersecting circles on a diagonal. The upper one is slightly smaller than the other two - the head of a beaver. The middle circle is the chest area, and the lower one is the back of the animal.
Step 3
On the head, mark the beaver's ears with small circles, and a larger ellipse - his flat nose. In the middle circle, sketch out the area of the shoulder blade and two small legs, folded together at chest level. In the lower part of the body, place two long ellipses (the base of the legs), which "put" the beaver's figure on a plane.
Step 4
Connect auxiliary shapes with smooth curves, merging them into one larger one. Draw the rounded back of the beaver, a thick abdomen, connect the area of the shoulder blade with the palms of the paws. Draw a vertically elongated ellipse at the back and connect it to the lower circle of the base of the body - you have a beaver tail.
Step 5
Draw the beaver's cheeks under the nose with a wavy line. Place an inverted trapezoid underneath them in the center and divide it in half with a dash - the famous beaver teeth are ready.
Step 6
More precisely draw the lines of the ears, select their inner part, divide the upper and lower legs into toes. On the face, about halfway between the nose and ears, draw small round eyes of the rodent.
Step 7
Erase construction lines with an eraser. Add texture to the tail - its surface, covered with horny plates, has a kind of scaly pattern, which is convenient to convey with mesh shading.
Step 8
Color the beaver with crayons or wax crayons. Shade the entire body of the beaver in shape, giving it volume. Use brown shades for the coat, and dark gray and black for the tail, nose and eyes. Add shine to the coat with highlights and highlights on the coat.
