How to Draw an Aardvark
In this lesson you will learn how to draw an aardvark. The instruction consists of 9 simple steps, which are accompanied by a brief description.
We are glad to welcome you to the lesson where you will learn how to draw an aardvark. This is one of the most little-known animals, but the more you will definitely like the drawing process, since the creature has a rather interesting shape. Before we move on to drawing an aardvark, let’s get to know this animal a little.
The aardvark is a little-studied and rather unusual animal. Outwardly, it resembles an anteater. The habitat of these mammals is Africa. These mammals are of medium size and can reach 150 cm in length and weigh up to 100 kg. Outwardly, they resemble a pig with an elongated muzzle and hare ears.
The aardvark is very secretive and is active mainly at night. Like other nocturnal animals, the aardvark sees poorly, but has a developed sense of smell. It is by smell that he looks for ants and termites.
Time needed: 34 minutes
How to Draw an Aardvark
- Draw the outline of the body.
The body of this rare animal has a rather unusual shape. Slowly, focusing on the example from the instructions, draw the body of the aardvark. To make it easier, start drawing an oval on the right side, which gradually narrows and turns into a rectangular shape.
- Draw the snout.
To do this, draw an oval shape that is larger than the width of the bow. Then you need to add the nostrils in the form of two large points.
- Add an eye.
At this stage, you need to move on to detailing the face. First, draw a dot that is the eye. Then draw a circle a little to the right, which will give the picture a pretty look.
- Draw the ears.
The ears are quite large and in their shape can resemble the ears of a hare. At the top of the head, draw two long vertical ovals.
- Ear details.
Next, you need to finish the inside of the ears. To do this is quite simple, for this you need to add smaller ovals inside the previously drawn ovals.
- Draw the tail.
These animals have quite long tails and can be 45-70 cm long in size. The aardvark from our drawing lesson is no exception, so draw a long tail on the right side of the body, which is pointed at the end. Also, draw short horizontal lines over the entire surface of the body. This will give dimension to the drawing.
- Draw the legs.
At this stage, you need to add the back and front legs. Slowly draw the legs as shown in the example instructions.
- Finish drawing the legs.
In the same way as in the previous step, draw the legs of the animal.
- Color your drawing.
The body of an aardvark can be colored gray or brown. Ears and cheeks in different shades of pink.
This concludes our aardvark instruction. We think that this is one of the most unusual animals that you had to draw. We hope you enjoyed our lesson. Share the resulting drawings in social networks and leave your impressions in the comments. You can also check out other tutorials.
