How to Draw a Meerkat

 

Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Meerkat" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

 

 

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

 

Draw Meerkat 1

Step 1: Draw a circle as a guide for the meerkat's head. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide. Leave enough room on the bottom for the rest of the body.

Step 2: Draw two curved, intersecting lines inside the head to help you place the meerkat's facial features later on.

Draw Meerkat 4

Step 4: Draw two more circles under the head as a guide for the first part of the meerkat's body. The first circle should be a bit bigger than the head, and their edges should almost touch. The bottom circle should be the biggest circle. The end result should be similar to a snowman.

Step 5: Draw a series of curved lines that connect the major shapes to form the rest of the meerkat's body. Draw an arc similar to the letter U under the bottom circle for the lower half of the body.
