Discover How To Make Your Kangaroo Drawing
How to Draw a Kangaroo Lets get started!
Step 1
Start by drawing a small perfect circle shape in the upper middle of your paper.
This outlines the head of the kangaroo.
Remember, use light strokes when drawing the outline.
The outline of the kangaroos head should be aligned with the vertical line above the horizontal line.
Step 2 Outline the Kangaroos Head and Body
Draw an uneven oval shape right underneath the head.
The figure should be narrow at the top and wider and curved at the bottom.
Similar to the heads outline, double-check that the outline of the body can be easily erased whenever necessary.
Then, draw a curve at the bottom.
This forms the snout of the kangaroo.
Dont forget to erase any parts of the outline that overlaps within the snout.
This helps keep your drawing more refined and most importantly, neat and tidy.
take a stab at make the ears uniform in shape and size.
Afterwards, erase the line from the outline that overlaps inside the right ear.
confirm that the ears are tall and standing uprightits one of the distinct features of a kangaroo!
In this step, thats exactly what well be drawing.
Continue by drawing a curved line on the right side of the kangaroos lower body to form the legs.
Then, extend the line to the left until you form a sideways U-shaped curve to form the foot.
Afterwards, bring the line upwards, finalizing the form of the right leg and the foot.
Repeat the same steps on the opposite side of the kangaroos lower body.
This forms the left leg, thus completing both legs of the kangaroo.
This creates the kangaroos distinct pointed tail.
Because of the kangaroos tilted position, its left arm isnt fully visible, unlike its right arm.
This helps make your drawing look more elaborate.
Starting from the top to the bottom, draw a curved line enclosing the edge of the kangaroos snout.
Dont forget to add multiple lines on each foot to create a division between each paw!
This outlines the kangaroos pair of eyes.
Since the kangaroo is facing sideways, the left eye should be relatively smaller than the right eye.
Then, add a tiny circle on each eye.
Afterwards, shade the entire eyes while leaving out the small circle within unshaded.
This adds an extra detail on the kangaroo, making it look more realistic.
