How to draw a hamster

Learn how to draw a cute little hamster.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Draw a simple framework, composed of basic shapes.  Be sure to keep your penciled lines nice and light.  Later, you can go over your structure with a dark, permanent pen or marker.  The penciled lines will easily erase with a kneaded eraser when you're finished.  Note the use of a cross to help mark of the positioning of the facial features - eyes, nose and mouth.

STEP 2

Sketch in its features... limbs, ears... and a small line for the snout.

STEP 3

Draw the left eye and nose.

STEP 4

Bring the head into view.

STEP 5

Keep going with the other eye - and the ears.

STEP 6

Draw in the the rest of the head - then draw the left arm and leg.

STEP 7

Draw your hamster's back and belly.

STEP 8

Mirror the other limbs.

STEP 9

Here's your hamster complete!

And finally... here's what it could look like - colored.  Get creative and color yours in your own unique way!
