How to Draw a Vampire Bat
Draw a vampire bat in 12 easy steps, about 9 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: the face.
Step 1: The face
Above the middle of your paper, draw a round face like an upside-down teardrop, with a soft pointy chin.
Tip Leave lots of room on both sides for the wings.
Step 2: Tall pointy ears
On top of the head, draw 2 tall pointy ears leaning out, with a smaller teardrop inside each one.
Step 3: Leaf nose
Above the chin, draw a leaf nose: a teardrop standing on its round end, pointing up.
Step 4: Smile and fangs
Under the nose, draw a U smile, twice as wide as the nose. Hang 2 little pointy fangs from it.
Step 5: Big eyes
Across the middle of the head, draw 2 big eyes one eye apart. Add a black dot and a shine.
Step 6: Low wide body
Under the chin, draw a low wide body like a bun, from one cheek round to the other.
Step 7: Left folded wing
Start behind the body. Draw up to a pointy top, down to the ground, then 3 bumps back.
Step 8: Right folded wing
Draw the same folded wing on the right side: pointy top, down to the ground, 3 bumps back.
Step 9: Fingers and claws
From each pointy top, fan 2 finger lines down to where the bumps meet. Add a hooked claw on top.
Step 10: Feet and ground
Under the tummy, draw 2 little round feet with toe lines. Then draw a long ground line across the paper.
Tip Feet and wing tips all stand on the line.
Step 11: Pink ears and nose
Colour the inside of the ears and the leaf nose pink. Leave the fangs white and go over your lines.
Step 12: Grey fur and wings
Colour the head, ears, body, wings, claws and feet dark grey, around the pink. Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a vampire bat, drawn by you.
