how to draw bat in 9 steps

Let's Get Started!

Step 1 – Begin with a Circle

To start your bat drawing, begin with a small circle. Don't worry about making it perfect; a slightly ragged line will give your bat a furry look. Make sure to leave a small gap in the circle, just like in the reference image.

Step 2 – Add the Bat's Ears

Now, it's time to add the bat's iconic ears. Draw two straight lines with two curved lines coming down from them, creating the pointy bat ears. Refer to the image for guidance.

Step 3 – Draw the Left Wing's Top

With the head and ears in place, it's time to draw the first wing. Take it slowly and carefully, following the reference picture as a guide. Use a combination of straight and curved lines to create the frame of the wing. Don't rush this step; take your time to get it right. If you find it challenging, you can draw with a light pencil first before going over it with a pen.

Step 4 – Mirror the Wing for the Opposite Side

You've drawn the first wing; now, create a mirror image of it on the opposite side. Simply copy what you did in Step 3 but reverse it, and you'll have both wing frames ready in no time.

Step 5 – Add the Bottoms of the Wings

With the wing frames in place, it's time to add the webbed bottoms of the wings. Use curved lines to connect the points of the wing frames, creating the intricate webbing. Don't forget to add a small line for the bottom of your bat's body.

Step 6 – Time for Some Legs

We're almost done with your bat drawing! In this step, add the finishing touches and a few final elements. Draw the bat's legs using curvy lines and points, and don't forget to include little sharp claws at the end. Underneath the legs, draw a pointy line to represent the bottom of the wing.

Step 7 – Add the Bat's Face

Now it's time to give your bat drawing a cute face. Use circles and smaller lines to create the eyes, nose, and mouth. You can follow the reference picture closely, or you can get creative and change the facial expression of your bat. Don't forget to draw in the inner ear section of the bat's ears.

Step 8 – Finalize the Details

Your bat drawing is almost complete! Add small lines to the leathery soft parts of the wings, giving the impression that the skin is stretched between the wing frames. These details will bring your bat to life.

Bonus: Try Out Different Approaches

Before we move on to the final step, let's explore how you can change this bat drawing in big and small ways. You might want to simplify the drawing to make it easier for you or add more realistic details. Use your creativity and adapt the design to your preference, or even create various interpretations of the drawing in different styles and scenarios. The choice is yours!

Step 9 – Add Color

To finish off your amazing bat drawing, it's time to add some color. This is where you can really showcase your artistic skills and let your imagination run wild. Feel free to use your favorite colors and create a unique artwork that truly expresses your creativity.

Now that you know how to draw a bat, it's time to embrace your artistic side and have fun with your newfound skill. Don't limit yourself to just one drawing; explore different styles and interpretations, and see how they compare to each other. The possibilities are endless!
