Steps To Draw A Bat
You can follow the video tutorial or use the step-by-step guide below. Here is a brief demonstration of today’s tutorial. Follow the instructions below to easily draw a bat step by step.
Step 1: Draw Rough Outlines
We’ll begin by drawing a small circle at the top. Next, draw an oval shape vertically, touching the circle as shown in the drawing above. You can use a pencil to create this initial rough sketch.
Step 2: Draw Fair Outline
Now, outline the circle to represent the bat’s head and an oval for its body more accurately. Use the reference lines we drew earlier as a guide. For the bat’s wings, outline a curved line that initially goes upwards and then curves downwards as shown in the drawing above.
Step 3: Draw Bat Wings
Next, draw three straight curved lines descending from the wings and connect them as shown in the drawing above.
Step 4: Draw Ears and Legs
Likewise, draw a small oval-like shape for the bat’s legs and add two pointed ears at the top as depicted in the image above.
Step 5: Erase Rough Lines
Now, carefully erase the rough lines inside the head and ear as well as the lines inside the body and wings.
Step 6: Drawing A Bat Eyes
Finally, draw two small triangles inside the bat’s ears and draw two staring eyes as shown in the drawing above. Wow, we drew a scary and cute looking bat in just 6 steps.
Coloring a Bat
After completing the bat’s drawing, we can proceed with coloring. For coloring, we have chosen some basic colors.
Commonly bats are black so we colored bats to black. We use pink on the ears and orange on the feet of the bat. Feel free to fill in the colors according to your preference as well.
Color Details:
- Black
- White
- Orange
- Pink
After coloring, we get a beautiful bat. You can use a pencil color (We made it digital).
