We will look at how to draw a hamster step by step in this lesson.
Almost every one of us has some kind of animal at home - cats, dogs, fish... And for those lucky ones who have hamsters at home, I can watch the little pets - how they amusingly chew food, hold it in their paws and fill their cheek pouches with it . Outwardly, hamsters look like peace-loving and even kind animals. So, we will now show you how to draw a hamster - it’s not at all difficult.
How to draw a hamster: drawing template
- Let's draw two intersecting circles, the top one is smaller, this will be the head. The lower circle is the hamster's body. Our hamster will stand on his hind legs.
- On the upper circle we will draw three lines - these will be the muzzle and ears. On the bottom (the hamster's body) are the hamster's legs visible to us.
- Let's erase the lines of circles intersecting with the drawn arcs and take care of the hamster's face. Let's draw a plump cheek and a cheerful black eye above it. Let's add a mouth and mustaches sticking out in different directions. Let's finish drawing the hamster's ear that is visible to us.
Let's add details to the drawing
- Now let's take care of the wombat's legs. Let's start with the back ones and draw them in accordance with the example. We also draw the front leg more precisely - the hamster will hold some object with it, for example a carrot. I trim the back of my hamster so that he is not too fat, and you can draw a hamster of any size J
- And the final stage - we draw any object in the hamster’s paws - for me it will be a small hamster carrot.
Today we will find out... This is a typical hamster: with large cheeks and a round belly, sharp teeth and small paws. He himself is brown, but his belly is lighter. So let's begin.
How to draw a hamster with a pencil
Step one. Let's draw the head. Draw a vertical auxiliary line on the face. And three more horizontal ones. They are nearby. These are the levels of the eyes, nose and mouth. At the bottom we will place a vertical oval - this is the body. It is quite large, because this is the abdomen of our hamster Rino. Now let's connect the body and head with a bend - the neck.
Step two. Let's outline the eyes at the already drawn level. Below we will show the mouth. The mouth should be uneven and curved. It's like Rhino is grinning a little. Connect the head and body with two lines. Let's draw two curved lines- contours of hands that reach towards the mouth. 
Step three. We will show circles inside the intended eyes. Then we will draw the teeth and tiny paws of the animal. Let's add ears on the head. There is a small horizontal fold between the handles. On one side of the head we will show the cheek. At the bottom of the oval we will show two bulges - the future legs of the hamster. 
Step four. Let's draw small pupils as shown in the picture. Let's draw the outline of Rino's abdomen, which will be lighter than the body. The outline should be drawn with a jagged line to simultaneously show the fur. In place of the convexities at the bottom of the oval, we will show tiny hind legs with claws on which the animal stands. 
Step five. In this part of the lesson we need to erase all the auxiliary lines and draw an outline. Well, that's it! You can color it. 
I hope you will know now? I also recommend watching lessons on how to draw: Among rodents there are small furry animals such as hamsters. They are often kept at home as pets.

- Around the hamster we draw a lawn that will have green leaves and beautiful wildflowers. Now you understand. Therefore, in the next lesson we will color it with colored pencils.
- Now we paint the hamster’s body and head with a yellow sand tint. This will be the base color. Then we cover some areas with light brown strokes.
- We select brown pencils and color with them top part heads and lower legs. For volume, go over the entire part of the body with a dark brown pencil. You can also use it to color your nose, eyebrows and lines under your eyes.
- We use green and red pencils to get a rich lawn. We use different shades to obtain shadow and light.

Hamsters are cute and fluffy animals loved by adults and children. They stuff their cheeks funny when they eat, run happily on the wheel in cages, and make entertaining, low-maintenance pets. They are attractive not only for their ease of maintenance, but also for the variety of breeds that determine their appearance. The fur of these rodents can be of almost any shade, from snow-white to black, with or without spots. The length of the fur is also completely different. Many people ask the question of how to draw a hamster, and this is especially of interest to parents of young children. For a step-by-step guide to this topic, check out this article. So, how to draw a hamster step by step for beginners?
Instead of introducing
Drawing a hamster is not at all difficult, but many people find it difficult. The main thing is to make him look like himself, and not like a mouse, rat or, say, guinea pig. That is, before you draw a hamster, you should familiarize yourself with it appearance and anatomy. At least a little.
How to draw a hamster step by step - getting started
First of all, take a pencil and, with light pressure, draw a semi-oval. There is no need to chase ideal parameters, this is just a sketch. And the main thing here is to enjoy the process. Nearby, slightly intersecting with the first one, we also easily draw another oval, similar to an egg. This is the head of the future animal. Here we draw two semicircular intersecting lines; they will help in the future to determine where the eyes and mouth will be.
Head details
We draw the ears of the animal, drawing two lines similar to an arch. Here it is worth turning on abstract thinking in order to correctly determine the location, since you will have to draw a hamster with a pencil three-dimensionally. The guides drawn earlier will help with this. Under the large oval, which will become the body of the rodent, we place two upward-curved lines. These are future paws. The sketch of the animal, with the help of which we will learn how to draw a hamster step by step, is ready. From this moment on, press harder on the pencil.
We continue to work
Draw the animal's eyes in the upper left part of the head. The shape of a hamster's eyes is an oval, pointed on one side, located slightly at an angle. Inside we draw a circle for the future pupil. It must be shaded by pressing the pencil. But be careful, you need to leave a couple of highlights. Use the guide lines made at the beginning of the tutorial to give the shape of the ears. Using uneven lines we draw folds and indentations inside the shell. Visible part work on the other ear as well.
On a small oval, similar to an egg, we begin to draw the animal’s face. The nose looks like an unfinished V, and right below it is the line of the mouth. To make a mustache, draw quick strokes around it. How to draw a hamster with a fluffy face? We will go over the entire perimeter of the smaller oval with a series of short strokes, depicting fur.
Body of the animal
We use the dashes under the large oval to complete the paws. We draw a silhouette around them with lines and finish it with our fingers. We do the same with the other paw. Draw sharp claws. Around this large oval we draw the animal’s fur with short strokes, depicting an oblong body. We attach it to the head.
We draw the fur with separate long strokes. Determine for yourself what kind of fur your hamster will have. Maybe he will be Angora, with long wavy fur, or maybe Djungarian, with very short fur. At the bottom right side draw the tail with a curved line. To make the picture clean, erase the original guides. We apply shading to the entire body of the hamster, giving volume to the drawing. Determine the direction of the light and work in that direction. When finished, blend the drawing a little. The hamster is ready!
How to draw a cartoon hamster?
This is even simpler; even a child can handle such a picture, since volume and shading are not needed here. You can do without guides. Let's start again with an egg-shaped oval. This is the head. Behind it we draw another oval, as if slightly hidden behind the first one. This is the torso. We draw ears.
Let's draw an imaginary horizontal line in the middle of the hamster's head. Directly above it we draw two circles, one slightly smaller than the other, these are the eyes. We schematically depict the paws by drawing two squares and an oval under them.
Gradually connect the ears to the head with a smooth line. We do the same with the body and paws. We give a pointed shape to the ears and muzzle and, on the contrary, smooth out the limbs. Below we schematically denote the fur and draw the tail.
Use an eraser to erase the original sketch lines. Adding details. Inside the eyes we draw small pupils. Watch carefully, their location will give one or another expression to the animal. Draw the auricle. The semicircle inside the body is the hamster's chest. On my paws short lines separate the fingers.
The cartoon hamster is ready. Color it as you wish.
Not all people love hamsters, but in vain! Cute, slightly plump rodents, quite friendly, economical, voracious and not always lazy.
