Let's learn together how to draw realistic animals. On this page you will find a growing collection of different easy to follow tutorials including example drawings of animals.
Use a good high resolution reference where you can clearly see all the details of the animal.
Always start with a sketch on which you build your animal drawing. It doesn’t matter if you work with pencils, colored pencils, ink, watercolors, or anything else.
Pay close attention to the different skin textures, skins, scales, feathers, etc. of the animal as you draw. You can always practice drawing unfamiliar things separately in advance on a piece of paper or in your sketchbook.
