How to draw animals step by step in pencil - easy master classes for drawing an elephant, a cat, a dog

There are many animals in nature, we just want to learn how to draw their specific species. Everyone will be able to translate their outlines, but you need to know some aspects. In our article you will learn how to gradually draw animals in pencil for beginners, we will provide you with step by step instructions.

There is another advantage to this teaching. Together with our children, we learn how to draw animals. Not only does this activity allow us to make cute pictures, but it also gives us a chance to connect with our little one.

Even those who have never once held a paintbrush or pencil, except in middle school kindergarten when he was 4 years old, they can get beginner pencil experience using the art of drawing from a picture.

Cute Cat

We've talked about pictures with cats, now we're combining knowledge, and testing the ability to represent outlines. Let's picture a nice cat.

To represent the animal we take a black gel pen; for beginners it is better to take a regular pencil, but when the image is ready, we will need to draw an outline.

In the middle of the sheet we draw an arc-shaped segment. The arc should be directed downwards. At the end of the arc we point the cat ears at the two edges. From the edge of the painted ears we continue to show the circumference of the head.
In the middle of the resulting figure apart we depict two circles, they will become the eyes of the cat. In the middle of the eye shape we show large pupils and set glare. We go a little lower and depict a triangular nose with rounded corners. We add the lips under the nose.
Now outline the fluffy chest cat. Under the chest, draw the front paws and divide their lower parts on fingers. Starting from the upper left side of the head, derive the body and trace two hind limbs.
Add a fluffy tail to the contour. Detail the ears and color the image. If you used a regular drawing pencil, trace the entire area in black.
With a black pen, paint over the eyes, leaving a glitter. With a pink pencil, paint the inside edge of the ears. Show parts of the shadows on the image in black or gray. Paint the remaining perimeter of the eyes with blue or green.

The cute cat is ready, and now you can imagine how to depict an animal drawing like a pussycat. The work is mostly simple. If you are a budding artist at a very young age, don't worry, if you meet our conditions, you will get a real creation.

Elephant in Cells.

The elephant has great volumes as far as practical everyone knows what it looks like. We have already studied the elephant image, but now we need to reinforce what we have learned. We will be picturing on a caged sheet, as this is the easier way to reinforce the lesson.

How to Picture by Cage:

Having prepared a sketchbook and provided it with a pen, for beginners, preferably a light pencil, we present a horizontal segment in the shape of an arc. At the top of the sketch, we introduce the contours of a small volume and draw a border identical to the first line, but downward. As we approach the edge of the line, we move the segment in the opposite direction to get the bottom outline of the elephant's head.
Starting from the top, we show large ears on the head in the shape of an uneven semi-oval. Then we mark from the beginning of the ear to the front of the torso. We draw a horizontal line and finish drawing the back of the elephant.
A curved line on the back shows the tail of this animal. We finish drawing the front limbs. Detail the ear.
Now, we place the eyes on the head. We finalize the mouth and detail it with teeth and tongue. We have painted the main part of the mouth and the area above the trunk. We expanded the silhouette on top with drops of water that the elephant releases from the trunk.
We paint a small lake on the right side with a blue pen. We paint the droplets the same color, but they should still have white spots on them. Also, draw the edge of the pond.
Then use a simple pencil to trace the outline of the body and the rest of the areas. Cover the brush on the tail. With a light tone, we shade the entire body. Draw under the elephant green grass. We paint it and paint the lake with a blue pencil. Tongue in red or pink.

The elephant is drawn. With a simple job, schoolchildren will meet him even on their own.

Beautiful dog.

If the image of animals has been depicted by the previous methods, repeat the material about dog outlines. We are going to represent a cute puppy in a box. We will use a pen and if you are not sure of your abilities, take a pencil.

Let's get creative:

On top of the cage we draw two connected arches. To do this, we add a half oval in the form of a wave on top, in the middle of which we draw a triangle with a wide rounded side. It can be painted a black shade right away.
To the lower part, right in the middle of the connection of the temples, we finish drawing the tongue. On the sides of the upper part of the sketch, we place two circles. In them we show the pupils and glare. Fill in the main part with black.
We step back to the 2 edges and introduce the shape of floppy ears. We draw eyebrows over the eyes and mark the shape of the puppy's head with a wavy line.
Step back, draw 2 paws and draw an even horizontal segment. Draw a bow just below the head on the left side. We complete the picture with a wavy sloping line and draw a collar.
To the horizontal segment on the sides we add two vertical directions. At the bottom of the horizontal line connect them. At the top of the line, draw 2 diagonal segments on the sides, the size of 1 cell, and connect them with a horizontal line.
We prepare a set of pens and colored pencils. With the pink pen, paint over the tongue and the bow. With the brown color we draw the outline of the dog. Cover the entire body with a light brown pencil and use a darker tone to mark the dark areas on the puppy's coat. Paint the gift box green if you want, you can write a word and leave it blank or decorate it with the perfect color.
