How to Draw a Chibi Squirrel
Draw a chibi squirrel in 14 easy steps, about 11 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big head.
Step 1: Big head
On the left of your paper, draw a big bun head, narrow on top with fat cheeks low down.
Tip Leave room on the right for a huge tail.
Step 2: Tufted ears
On top of the head, draw 2 tall ears with a tufty double tip. Add a leaf shape inside each.
Step 3: Big shiny eyes
Halfway down the head, draw 2 big oval eyes. Add a ring, a black dot and 2 shines in each.
Tip Huge shiny eyes make it chibi.
Step 4: Nose and smile
Between the eyes, a little lower, draw a tiny round nose. Under it, draw a small W smile.
Step 5: Small egg body
Start under one cheek. Draw a small egg body down and round to the other cheek.
Tip The body is much narrower than the head.
Step 6: Arms and paws
From each shoulder, draw a short arm down, bending in to a round paw near the middle.
Tip Leave a gap between the paws for the acorn.
Step 7: The acorn
Between the paws, draw an acorn: a bowl cap with a tiny stalk, then a pointed nut below.
Step 8: Tummy patch
On the body, draw a tall egg for the tummy. It hides behind the arms and acorn.
Step 9: Bun feet
At each bottom corner of the body, draw a bun foot with 2 short toe lines.
Step 10: Big bushy tail
From the right foot, draw a huge fat tail up past the head. Curl its tip over.
Tip The tail is as tall as the whole squirrel. Add a swirl line inside the curl.
Step 11: Ground line
Start left of the feet. Draw a flat ground line and stop past the tail.
Step 12: Cream and pink
Colour the tummy cream. Colour the nose, inside the ears and 2 round cheeks pink.
Step 13: Ginger fur
Colour the head, ears, body, arms, feet and tail ginger, around the cream and pink.
Tip Leave the eyes and the acorn white.
Step 14: Brown acorn
Colour the eye rings and the acorn cap brown. Colour the nut tan. Your chibi squirrel is done!
