Drawing a hamster can be super fun, especially if you love animals. In this guide, we’ll show you how to draw your very own adorable hamster. Grab your paper and markers, and let’s start drawing!
Before we start, let’s learn a little about hamsters. Hamsters are small, chubby pets with cute faces. They are different from gerbils, which have longer tails. Now, let’s draw our hamster!
First, let’s draw the hamster’s eyes. Make two small ovals next to each other. Color them in, but leave a tiny white spot to make the eyes look shiny.
Next, draw a small “U” shape under the eyes for the nose. From the nose, draw a line that splits into a “Y” shape to make the mouth. Add a curve to finish the mouth.
Draw another “U” shape under the mouth for the chin. Then, add curves on each side to make the hamster’s cheeks look chubby.
Draw a line above the eyes for the top of the head. On each side, draw a diagonal line that curves down to make the ears. Inside each ear, add a little curve for detail.
Now, let’s draw the body. Make a big “U” shape that looks like a potato. This will be the hamster’s round body.
Draw small curves on each side of the body for the feet. Then, add short lines from the feet to make the legs. Finish the feet with a big curve to make them round.
Draw the hamster’s hands near its mouth. Use oval or square shapes for the hands, and add lines for the fingers.
To complete the arms, draw a small curve from the top of each hand, and another curve down each side.
Now it’s time to color! Use light brown for the body and darker shades for shadows. You can add patterns to the fur with lines. Use short strokes to make it look furry.
For extra details, use black for shadows around the hands and face. Use pink for the nose and gray for more shading.
Great job! You’ve drawn a cute hamster. This activity helps you practice drawing and lets you be creative. Show your hamster to your friends and family. Happy drawing!
Hamster Habitat Exploration: Take a walk around your home or garden and look for places where a hamster might like to live if it were outside. Think about what a hamster needs to be happy and safe. Draw a picture of a perfect hamster home and share it with your class. What items did you include to make sure the hamster is comfortable?
Hamster Story Time: Imagine your hamster drawing comes to life! Write a short story about an adventure your hamster might have. Where does it go? What does it see? Who does it meet? Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them what they think your hamster should do next.
Color and Pattern Hunt: Look around your house or classroom for objects that have the same colors or patterns as your hamster drawing. Can you find something light brown, like your hamster’s body, or something with lines that look like fur? Make a list or take pictures of the items you find and discuss why those colors or patterns might be important for animals in nature.
