Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
Start with basic shapes
Start by drawing a large oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head. Place them close together but not touching.
Step 2:
Add hind legs
Draw two long curved lines extending from the bottom of the oval to create the back legs. Kangaroos are known for their strong hind legs, so make them strong and muscular.
Step 3:
Sketch the tail
Extend a curved line from the back of the oval to create the tail. Kangaroo tails are usually long and muscular, tapering at the end.
Step 4:
Create the front legs
Draw two shorter curved lines extending from the front of the oval for the front legs. Kangaroos have smaller front legs than hind legs.
Step 5:
Add details to the head
Sketch the kangaroo’s head in detail. Includes ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Kangaroo ears are usually large and pointed.
Step 6:
Body tuning
Add more detail to the body, such as defining the chest and abdomen. Kangaroos have distinct body shapes so pay attention to curves and proportions.
Step 7:
Perfect the details
Add any remaining details, such as fur texture or facial features. Don’t forget to remove any unnecessary guides or overlapping lines.
Step 8:
Add pouch and baby in pouch (for female kangaroo)
If you are drawing a female kangaroo, you can add a pouch. Draw a curved shape near the bottom of the abdomen, slightly to one side. He pulled a small child’s head out of the bin and poked it out.
Step 9:
Color
Once you’re satisfied with your sketch, sketch out the final lines with a darker pen or pencil. You can then add color using colored pencils, markers, or any other coloring tool you like.
