14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a weasel 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: wedge head.

Step 1: Wedge head
Near the top of your paper, draw a head: round on top, narrowing down to a short pointed snout.
Tip Keep it small: a long body goes under it.
Step 2: Small round ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a small round ear. Stop where it meets the head.
Step 3: Big eyes
Draw 2 big eyes in the middle of the head, with black dots and little white shines.
Step 4: Snout patch
Start on the left side of the head under the eye. Draw a gentle rainbow across to the right side.
Step 5: Nose and smile
Near the snout tip, draw a triangle nose. From its tip, draw a short line down to a w smile.
Step 6: Short whiskers
Beside the nose, draw 2 short whiskers on each side. Keep them inside the snout patch.
Step 7: Long slim body
Under the left cheek, draw a long thin body down and round, back up to the right cheek.
Tip Make it about twice as tall as the head.
Step 8: Bib
From the chin, draw a long U for the bib down the chest and tummy and back up.
Step 9: Short front legs
From each side of the chest, draw a short leg bending in to a small round paw on the bib.
Tip Fat at the shoulder, thin at the wrist.
Step 10: Feet and ground
Draw a ground line under the body. At each bottom corner, draw a bun foot with 2 toe lines.
Step 11: Tail with a tip
From the right hip, draw a thin tail along the ground. Draw a short line across it near the tip.
Tip Fat at the body, thin at the tip.
Step 12: Cream bib and snout
Colour the bib and the snout patch cream. Colour the nose pink.
Step 13: Brown weasel
Colour the weasel brown around the cream and the nose, up to the tail line. Leave the eyes white.
Step 14: Black tail tip
Colour the end of the tail black, past the short line.
