Next draw the outside of the bat’s face by extending the ears downwards.
Step 4
Draw bat wings
Now draw the upper part of the bat’s wing. This is done simply with two curves on each side.
Starting at the bottom point of the face, the curve first moves outward and ends above the head of the bat. Start the second curve where the first one ends, it moves down and away from the top.

Step 7
Color your bat
Color your bat with whatever tools you have – traditional pencil and paint, digital coloring, or a combination of both. Try different colors and textures, you don’t have to stick to a standard look.
