How to draw animals realistically?

When you start drawing, you can also learn to draw animals easily.

Whether they are domestic animals or wild animals of the savannah, some have simple shapes, allowing you to quickly draw an animal. Drawing a cat, lion, tiger, shark or rabbit correctly seems easier than drawing a portrait of a man or a woman.

Learning to draw is easy! To  draw animals  (a cat, a tiger, a lion, a dog, a rabbit or a horse), you must first place the head and outline the body using a rectangle, at the bottom of which you must place the legs.

For the cat , for example, you should take 3 sizes of the head for the length of the body, three heads for the height of the head to the end of the front legs, three heads for the tail, one for the hip and two for the height of the legs.

Therefore, to draw any animal you have to start by drawing the head. Next, you should do the lines of the back, the sides, the legs, then the fur and / or the mane. This order prevails when drawing a lion, a tiger or a horse .

The difficulty in drawing animals is the care that must be taken with the colors of the fur with the colored pencils and the relief. The tiger, that precious but ferocious animal, is a good example of this difficulty, since it requires mastering the technique of shading the fur and you have to know how to mix color gradations.
