Step by step drawing with a pencil squirrel does not seem too difficult for a child
Drawing a squirrel with a pencil for a child taskquite difficult. Especially if he does not know how to do it correctly. Therefore, the task of parents is to help the child in learning, especially since if you do the drawing step by step, then it is quite simple. In today's lesson, we will offer you several schemes for drawing this interesting fluffy animal, familiar to everyone. The squirrel is a beautiful forest animal that is often found in Russian fairy tales and cartoons. As a rule, it causes admiration in children, attracts their attention to itself. Naturally, the child has a desire to try to independently depict it on paper. The animal is very beautiful, lives on a tree and moves, for the most part, also on trees, jumping from one branch to another. It has a fairly bright color, especially in the summer - orange. After molting, the color of its fur changes somewhat. The squirrel has two characteristic features - small tassels on the ears and a large fluffy tail. This forest beauty feeds on nuts, berries, which it stores for the winter. By following simple instructions and carefully studying the suggested drawings, a child will be able to draw this beautiful animal on his own quite quickly. We suggest drawing a squirrel in four stages. At the first stage, we need to draw the contours of the animal's body - head, paws, body and tail. For this, we use simple geometric shapes, as can be seen in the diagram. The second stage - we finish drawing some details, namely the squirrel's ears and the mushroom that will be in its paws. On the body (large oval), we need to finish drawing the knees (hind legs). Thus, we got a figure that clearly resembles a real forest dweller. The extra lines formed as a result of drawing the contours during the first stage of work, we need to very carefully erase with an eraser.The third stage is drawing all the details.We need to add eyes, a mouth and a nose to the squirrel. We will draw fingers on the back and front paws. We will make the ears more voluminous and draw small tassels. Using small neat strokes, we will draw fur on the animal's tail and its tummy (belly). We have an almost finished drawing. The fourth stage is the final one. All that remains is to color the squirrel using pencils, crayons or paints. If desired, the squirrel can be placed on a tree branch and the background painted. You will get an interesting picture.The second scheme that we offer you below isis similar to the previous one and differs only in some details, such as the absence of fungus on the paws. It is also simple, like the first one, and will not cause any difficulties for the child while working on it. As a result, you will get an image of a wonderful animal.If your child has already mastered this a littleimage, and he has become quite good at drawing, you can offer him to draw a more complex drawing depicting a squirrel in a realistic style. At first, of course, you will have to help him with his work, but this, on the contrary, is a huge plus.
