Here’s a simple one for today: how to draw a cute rat in anime style. This little character is all about big features and a light, cartoonish form. It’s not too difficult, and if you’re familiar with basic cartoon shapes, you’ll find it pretty straightforward.
Main Details to Focus on When Drawing This Cute Rat
- Large rounded ears with clean inner lines
- Big sparkling anime-style eyes with simple highlights
- Small curved nose and short smiling mouth
- Long tail with a simple segmented pattern
- Light body curves with clear division between head and torso
- Simple paws with soft, curved lines
- Short whiskers extending out to the sides
If you feel like adding more cute animals to your sketchbook after this, you might want to try drawing an anime-style bunny or a playful kawaii kitten next.
