How To Draw Funny Animals

Drawing makes people develop creativity and can even be used to drain stress. From kindergarten, drawing is a skill that is reinforced in children because it contributes to their motor, psychological and intellectual development from the interpretation of symbolic language. Therefore, it is very important to learn to draw and more if it is about funny animals. I could serve as a guide to teach your children the names of animals in various languages.

Generally, we take the children to the zoo and we teach them the names of each one of the animals, but with the funny drawing we perform the teaching task better, because we make learning more meaningful for the children; The cartoon and comics industry stems from this idea.

When an emotion is expressed in an image, this is permanently recorded in our minds. The symbolic language expressed in the funny drawings meets all communicative needs: learning, art, protests, and romance, among others. Therefore, recognizing the idea that knowledge is constructed, we can use various techniques that will help you draw pictures of funny animals such as cats, dogs, parrots, bears, and more.

Instructions

1. First you should find white sheets and a pencil to do some warm-up exercises.
2. You should start practicing with your wrist raised, drawing circles as round or as round as you can.
3. By keeping your wrist raised this will help you to have more ease in your hand and allows you to cover more spaces. Otherwise you will be making traces only with your fingers and this limits you a lot, causing your lines to not come out well.
4. Then, start practicing by making squares and filling them with vertical and horizontal lines. You must make the squares of different sizes and sizes, but all by freehand, this remembers that it is only for heating.
5. You should try to be very relaxed when warming up; This will give you more confidence and security.
6. You should never be afraid to draw or think that you will not be able to do the drawing, because this will block your mind and hand.
7. You should also practice making triangles of different sizes and filling them with vertical and horizontal lines.
8. When you start to draw the animal you have in mind, start with the head; For example, if it is a chick, start with its head, if it is a crab, start with its entire body. Then, place the parts of the head, that is, the beak, the eyes, and its feathers; and in the case of the crab, the eyes and the mouth.
9. after you finish with the head of the chick you can draw the body; remember that you can do it with geometric figures to make it easier.
10. You can draw the head and body of the chick with circles and the beak with a triangle.
11. The eyes can be a small circle and you can make it a little oval, this depends on your creativity and style.
12. After the body of the chick is there, place the wings and legs, the proportions of the parts of the body of the chick can be varied.
13. To give the chick grace and make it different, you can draw some before its eyes or you can play with the shape of the eyes.
14. Funny drawings generally emphasize some part of the drawing, you can make the head bigger than the body or draw the chick some shoes or glasses to highlight the part that interests you and give the animal personality. You can even draw the chick a tie if you want to emphasize that it is a boy, a bow or bow if it will be a girl or a pacifier if it is a baby chick, or some other accessory to give it more grace.
15. These drawings are initially made in pencil, but you can also paint the drawings and fill them in to make them look better and more real. Use primary colors to highlight important parts.
16. The colors will also help you give more meaning to the drawing; for example, generally the chick is drawn in yellow, but you can play with the dimensions of the color such as tones, a mustard yellow for an older chick and a pastel yellow for a smaller chick.
17. Also, you can draw a chick that is dressed in a black and white dress or with a beret and brushes to highlight a skill, or use this technique of accessories such as drawing it with a Mexican hat to give it personality.

Tips

• You must know the animal that you are going to draw and keep it in mind, to visualize with which geometric figure you are going to relate it.
• You can help yourself with some molds of geometric figures that come pre-designed.
• You can use a compass to help you make some circles.
• Also, depending on the finish you are going for, use markers and tempera or ceramic paint in the same design.
• It is a very good idea to make your drawings in the presence of children, they will help you add details that make you laugh.
• You can also look for ready-made animal molds and add accessories to them to make them look funnier. The idea is that when seeing the animal drawn, it causes a lot of grace and that the person spends a pleasant moment.
• You can also draw on cardboard using the three-dimensional design from the geometric figures. That is, cut out the cardboard and make squares, circles, triangles and join them to build funny three-dimensional animals.
• Even with glue you can add feathers to your drawing or glue some accessories that you can cut out of used magazines.
• You can use some recycling materials to add more accessories to your drawings and make them more graceful. For example, with soda caps they can be joined and glued together to fill in your drawing.
• The important thing in drawing funny animals is to highlight some point of the animal that will give it that funny personality that you want to express. For example, when it comes to emotions, the position of the eyebrows on the face, the size of the eyes, and even the colors you choose will make the difference between a happy animal and an angry one.
