Draw an Otter

Start with Shapes
Draw circles for the rump, chest and leg, and a rounded square for the head. Otters have very boxy heads!
Previous Next
Connect Your Shapes
Draw lines to connect the head to the chest, and add in the feet.
Previous Next
Finish Your Outline
Connect all your remaining shapes together, and add in a thick tail, nose and eyes.
Previous Next
Add the Details
Add in your otter's ears, mouth and toes, and lines to show where we'll color in the otter.
Previous Next
Fill It In
Shade in your otter! Otters have brown fur on their heads, and white fur on their chests and faces.
Previous Next
Add Some Shading
You can add shading to the parts of the otter which might be in shadow, like under the belly. Add in little hairs to show the otter's fur by drawing short lines in the direction the hair goes. You're done!
