Next, at the bottom of our oval just erase a small part on both the right and left sides and draw a small ” w” shape for the feet of our hamster. We are drawing a cute hamster standing and looking at us.
Step 3: Sketch the Ears
Then, sketch the oval shape on both the right and left sides of the cute hamster for the ears.
Step 4: Draw Left Foot
Now on the left side draw two lines and join them with a small “w” shape for our hamster’s left leg.

Similarly, draw two lines on the right side and join them with a small “w” shape to complete the right foot of our hamster.

Coloring a Hamster
After finishing the drawing, we wanted to add some colors that would bring it to life and make it more enjoyable. Here, we have used very basic colors; if you want to add a different set of colors, you can fill it with your choice.
Firstly, we color the chole boy with light orange as a fur and the remaining part is filled with cream color.
Color Details:
- Light Orange
- Cream
Our cute hamster is ready with a smiley face. Wow, it’s very cute. We colored it digitally but you can color it using a pencil color or water color.
