Let’s go over how to draw a rat’s head front view today. It’s a little similar to the mouse head drawing we worked on earlier, but here the snout is slightly more pronounced, and the overall look feels a bit sturdier. This sketch stays pretty simple if you take it step by step and focus on the proportions.
Main Features to Watch for When Drawing This Rat’s Head
- Pronounced snout sticking out slightly
- Big rounded ears sitting high and slightly wide
- Large black eyes spaced across the face
- Small nose with clear nostrils
- Detailed whiskers spreading in different directions
- Light fur texture indicated with short lines
- Symmetrical overall shape from side to side
If you enjoyed working on this one, you might also want to draw a rabbit head front view for comparison or sketch an anime-style rat next.
