    Learning To Draw

    Learning to draw may seem a bit scary (not like vampire bat scary), but some kids can be a bit hesitant.

    The best way to start is not to compare yourself to others and to follow along by reading drawing tutorials like this easy drawing tutorial. You can enjoy the moment of learning something new and be proud of yourself for trying.

    Starting with simple shapes like squares, circles, and triangles is a great way to begin. Don't miss our 3D Cube Drawing for some drawing basics. We have found that learning to draw something new is as easy as putting a pencil on paper and start drawing.

    When learning to draw the most important thing to remember is to try your best! If you do that, then you are already an amazing artist! We have some other fun Halloween Drawing Tutorials including How to Draw a Halloween Cat, How to Draw a Vampire, How to Draw a Spider, and How to Draw a Spider Web

    Here is the simple steps tutorial for an easy bat drawing lesson! Grab your piece of paper and pencil and go at your own pace! Good Luck!

    Drawing Bat’s head and Body

    How to Draw a bat step 1  draw an oval shape

    Start by drawing an oval shape for the bat head

    bat drawing step 2 drawing body of the bat

    Next, draw a small U for the bat’s body

    Drawing Bat Wings

    Drawing a bat’s wing step 3

    The next step is to draw the bat's wing. Draw a small line right under the bat's head off of the body. This is the top of the wing. From there draw a curved line at a slight angle, approximately the same length. From there curve it back and create a few zig-zag lines to create the bottom of the wing.

    draw the right wing step 4

    Draw the right wing the same as you did the first one.

    Add two simple U shapes at the bottom of the body as the legs.

    draw bats ears at top of the head

    The next step is to draw the bat’s ears. Simple rounded triangle shapes off the top of the head.

    Draw the shadow on the bats ears and wings

    Next, we're going to draw a line highlighting the wings. It's an arched line right underneath the top line of the wing. Sketch an additional line right inside the bat’s ears highlighting the inner ear.

    Bat’s Face

    draw on the bat's face

    Now it's time to start on the bat's face. Draw a small oval for the outside of the eyes and then small dime-size circles for the inside of the eyes. Draw a small nose and two upside-down triangles as the count Dracula teeth.

    outline your bat with marker

    The last step is to outline your drawing once you have it looking just as you want it to look
