How to Draw a Great Looking Bat Outline for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Bat Outline step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the bat outline by sketching the animal's cute face. Draw two ovals, each with a small oval inside it.

Shade around the small ovals to form the eyes. Between the eyes, shade two small teardrop-shaped nostrils. Draw a "U" shaped smiling mouth between them.

Connect them with a curved line, and draw another curved line overlapping the end of each. Draw two short lines above each eye to indicate the eyebrows.

4. Finish the bat's body, using furry lines that meet at jagged points. Then, extend long curved lines from the base of the neck on each side. This will become the top of the bat's wings.

Drawing Step 5

Learn More About The Bat Outline Drawing

Bats - they might seem creepy or scary, but they are actually really cool! Find out for yourself when you learn how to draw this bat outline. Bats are the only mammals - furry animals that feed their babies milk - that can fly.

As you can see in this illustration, the bat's wing is actually a modified hand, with the membranes of the wing stretched between skinny fingers.

Bats are also known for their big ears, which you can also see in this drawing. Bats use echolocation to navigate, emitting high-pitched sounds and listening to how the sounds echo back. Big ears help them do this.

Bats live in groups called colonies. Each color may have ten bats or 10,000 bats. Want to add more bats to your colony?
