Cute Animal Drawings.

What should I draw? Well, if you are already done drawing the animals above, then here are some more cute animal drawings. Personally, I really enjoy drawing animal faces, because I can give them a personality and expression.

For example, I like varying the expressions, they don’t all have to be cute animal drawings. Try drawing a very angry rabbit or a very friendly lion.

Pine Trees
Ferns
Sunflowers
Roses
Palm trees

People.

I think drawing people is pretty hard, because you need to get the dimensions right, arms, legs, heads and eyes. And it is not as easy as you think. But I realized that if I focus on people drawings that have another dominant item in it, then it is easier. I like drawing people with umbrellas, for example.

Try to draw these:

A person wearing a giant hat
A person with a pet, like a cat or a dog
A person eating a cake.
A person with an umbrella in the rain.
A person with a big bird sitting on his or hers head.
A woman with a small head and really big glasses.
A man kicking a football.

Food.

I love food and I love drawing it! You can combine these food drawings with a man or woman eating them. But I always start with the food drawing itself.

Try to draw these:

A Cup of Tea
a Birthday Cake
Ice Cream
Bananas
Spaghetti
a Hamburger

Landscapes.

I love drawing landscapes, particularly woods and oceans. Sometimes, I will add an animal, like a whale in the sea or a bear in the woods. Choose a lansdcape first, then this will spark a bunch of ideas for characters or animals to add in the drawing.

Try to draw these:

Forest
Desert
Ocean
Mountains.
Rolling Hills.
Outer Space
Road and Horizon
Beach
Jungle

Here is a very easy road drawing. I like it because the road is so easy to draw, and it adds perspective, and you can draw any kind of landscape around it. It will be different every time.

I have always enjoyed drawing mountain landscapes. It is very relaxing for me. Here is another mountain drawing idea, with a little house and a tree in the foreground. It works really well for perspective drawing. Notice the rock in the corner that adds to the perspective.
