How to Draw a Cartoon Bat
(the Easy Way)



Don’t be scared! Despite his sharp fangs and blood red color, this
awesome bat is, in fact, a friendly little mammal with all kinds of
amazing skills. Learning how to draw a cartoon bat needn’t take you
until twilight either – simply follow our simple steps and you’ll be
flying in no time!
Bats have long been associated with vampires and witchcraft, but the
reality couldn’t be further from the fiction. Having said that, drawing a
bloodsucking bat is kinda cool, so that’s what we’re going to do! Pens
at the ready and don’t forget the garlic to ward off any unwelcome
fanged friends…

STEP-1: The Bat Basics
The first thing we need to do to learn how to draw a cartoon bat is to
draw some simple shapes which will form the basis for our brilliant
bat.
Draw two large curved lines with a circle in the middle to represent the
wings and head. From here, we can add some more details to really
bring our bloodsucker to life!




STEP-2: Adding to The Basics
Now that we’ve got our rough outline, let’s start adding some details to
help our blood red buddy take shape! At the top of the circle (the head)
draw two large ears, remembering to make the ends nice and pointy.

Isn't learning how to draw a cartoon bat cool! It won’t surprise you to
learn that bats have an awesome sense of hearing and communicate
with their buddies using ultrasound!
In fact, a bat’s hearing is so sensitive, it can even hear the sound of a
moth flapping its wings! Once you’ve drawn the ears, draw a smile at
the base of the head, followed by another curved line beneath for our
bat’s small body.

STEP-3: Let’s Get Batty about Detail!
The next stage in learning how to draw a cartoon bat is adding some
more details, including those all-important wings. Using the large
curved lines you drew earlier as your basis, draw a series of curves
which meet at sharp points. Remember the Batman symbol?
Keep this in mind and you’ll be doing just fine! Next, draw a small
triangular-shaped nose and add some sharp fangs to the mouth. There is
a wide variety of bats in the world, some of which eat flowers, fruit,
insects and…wait for it…blood!
However, despite the vampire legends, these blood-sucking bats don’t
attack humans – instead, they feed on small mammals such as mice. At
the base of body, draw two short legs with an upside-down ‘V’ shape at
the bottom to represent claws. There, our brilliant bat buddy is ready to
fly!


STEP-4: It’s Time to Take Flight with Color!
Our bat is now looking pretty awesome, but we just need to add a few
more details before our winged friend can take flight and hang out with
his other furry buddies.
Bats are mammals, but often get confused with mice or other rodents –
in fact, in some European languages, the word for bat is ‘flying

mouse’! However, make no mistake, these little critters are most
definitely not rodents.
Let’s add some more details to those ears – draw two traingular shapes
with a jagged edge to represent fur.
Next, draw two large eyes – although most bats have poor vision, none
of them are actually blind. Instead, they use their awesome sense of
hearing to get around. Our flying friend is almost ready for some vivid
color! Rub out any lines you don’t need, then select a black pen to draw
the outline.
Once you’ve done this, take your favorite shade of red and color in the
body then use a darker shade ofthis color for the inside of the ears and
the legs. Color the eyes in black, remembering to leave a small area
white for the highlight. Then, you can draw around this highlight area
in red to create an awesome looking bat!
We’re done – it’s time to fly off into the night! Now you’ve learned
how to draw a cartoon bat and impress your family and friends with
your awesome artistic skills, you can experiment by creating more bats
in different colors to keep our little buddy company. Have fun!
