The easiest step in this lesson. The rat’s eyes should be drawn in the form of two small, filled circles.

Under the eyes, on each side, draw some random lines for the rat’s whiskers. To indicate the spout, draw a line at the corner of the shape.

Draw a pair of hind legs in the same way as in the previous step.
- Draw the tail.
Draw a pointed tail and draw some vertical lines inside.

Perhaps one of the most enjoyable stages in the drawing is coloring the finished sketch. The usual color of a rat is gray. Color the entire rat shape with this color. Draw the ears and tail in pink. Make the nose red.
Do not forget that drawing is not only a fun activity, but also a useful exercise for developing fine motor skills, imagination and creative thinking.
Do not be afraid to make mistakes and do not give up at the first failure, because only practice will make you a master. And remember that each person has their own unique style and approach to drawing, so do not compare your work with the work of others. The main thing is to enjoy the process and enjoy what you create with your own hands!
