How to draw a simple mouse

What do you need

• Paper;
• a simple pencil or black felt-tip pen;
• colored pencils, markers, or paints.

How to draw a mouse

Draw a droplet shape on its side, the corner of which looks to the left.

Draw an arc at the top of this shape. Add another arc above it - the edge of the other ear.

Draw a small circle at the corner of the "drop" - this will be the nose. To the left of the front ear, add another circle and paint over it. Draw a mustache with small lines between the drawn nose and eye.

Draw two small ovals at the bottom, right and left - these will be the legs.

Draw a line from the middle of the right side of the body, round it up and draw a curved tail.

Color the mouse: the torso is gray, and the nose and paws are pink.

How to draw a mouse or a rat more difficult

What do you need

• Paper;
• a simple pencil or black felt-tip pen;
• colored pencils, markers, or paints.

How to draw a mouse

Draw a small arc with the ends pointing up. Add a circle to the right and paint over it, leaving a small unpainted area in the middle.

From the nose up, draw a line rounded to the left. At the other end of the lower arc, paint another one of the same, but smaller.

Draw another slightly rounded line from below - this will be the lower edge of the head. Draw a drop-shaped shape over a small arc - an eye - and paint over a corner of it.

In the upper left of the picture, draw a large ear in the form of an arc, and behind it another one. From the right edge of the first ear, draw a short line to the side and lift the line up. Add another shorter stripe on the left.

From the middle of the front ear, bring the back line up to the left and round it.

From the end of this line, draw another one to the left, lower it down, round it to the right and bring it almost to the head. Above this line, draw another so that you get a long, pointed tail.

Draw an arc under the back, with the ends pointing to the left - this will be the thigh. Draw a foot below and separate the toes with a short line. Draw a small line of the abdomen from them to the right.

To the right of the abdomen, draw a bent front leg and mark the fingers on it.

This extraordinary workshop shows you how to draw an animal from the word rat ("rat" in English). If you are drawing with a child, at the same time teach him a new foreign word:

To depict this mouse, you first need to make a pencil sketch:

And for this drawing you will need, oddly enough, coins. It is more complicated than all the previous ones, but the instructions are very clear:

How to draw a realistic mouse or rat

What do you need

• Paper;
• pencil;
• eraser.

How to draw a rat

Draw a large circle, and to the left of it another (about four times smaller). This is a sketch of the animal's torso and head. Don't press too hard on the pencil.

Divide the small circle with two intersecting perpendicular lines. To the left of the circle, paint in a U-shape for the rat's face. Draw a semi-oval ear at the top right of the circle. Add another one above the head on the left.

Connect the outlines of the head and torso with two curved lines. At the bottom, outline the paws with angular lines. Draw a line from the body to the right, round to the left and lengthen - this is the tail.

Now you can press harder on the pencil. At the top left of the head, draw an oval eye with slightly elongated corners. Draw a small circle inside, and darken everything around it. Add some strokes around the eye. Draw a circle at the end of the face. Draw a nostril inside, and walk along the contour with short strokes.

Above and below the nose, draw out the edges of the muzzle with very short strokes. Draw a mustache to the right of the nose. Contour the front ear so that it is slightly tilted. Inside it, add some lines to highlight the sink. Sharpen the back ear and shape so that it is slightly curved. Then draw the outlines of the head above and below with strokes.

Sketch out the front leg. Highlight the toes and hairs on the bottom of the leg. Draw another paw in the back in the same way. Draw an arc above the outline of the back leg. Draw the paw (longer than the front) and highlight the toes.

With the same short strokes, go along the line of the back. To the right of the large circle, lengthen the animal's body above and below, bringing the strokes to the tail line. Draw hairs between the legs too. Shape the tail - it should taper towards the end.

Gently erase any excess pencil sketches. If you accidentally erased something from the main picture, add it again.

Darken the ears, lower head, neck, hind leg, lower torso and tail.

Add shadows under the rat to show that it is standing on something. With strokes, go over the face and the entire body of the animal. Arrange the strokes along the growth of the hairs, that is, to the side.
