Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Pointed Ears
Draw two tall pointed ears with curved outer edges. Add a smaller curved line inside each ear for depth.
Pro Tip: Place the ear tips at nearly the same height.
Step 2: Add the Head and Eyes
Connect the ears with a large rounded head shape. Draw two circular eyes with bright highlights and dark lower edges.
Pro Tip: Keep the eyes low on the head for an extra-cute proportion.
Step 3: Create the Tiny Face
Place a small horizontal oval nose between the eyes. Add two short mouth curves and a tiny triangular fang below each side.
Pro Tip: Keep the nose centered before adding the mouth and fangs.
Step 4: Draw Both Wings
Extend a bent double line from each side beneath the head. Complete each wing with a pointed edge and three rounded lower scallops.
Pro Tip: Mirror the main bends loosely without making both wings perfectly identical.
Step 5: Add the Rounded Body
Draw a large oval body beginning just beneath the head. Let its upper sides overlap the inner edges of both wings.
Pro Tip: Make the body narrower than the full width of the head.
Step 6: Finish with Small Feet
Add two small rounded feet peeking from beneath the body. Divide each foot with two short toe marks.
Pro Tip: Keep the feet close together to support the compact pose.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
