If you’re looking for a simple and relaxing project, here’s a good one: how to draw a guinea pig. This sketch is mostly about clean, soft shapes and placing a few simple details like the whiskers and paws. It’s beginner-friendly if you take it step by step.
Main Details to Notice When Drawing This Guinea Pig
- Rounded body sitting flat on the ground
- Short, soft-looking legs close to the body
- Small, rounded ears positioned on the sides of the head
- Big dark eyes spaced evenly across the face, with small highlights.
- Short nose and small mouth
- Long, curved whiskers pointing outward
- Soft fur texture indicated with short, light lines
- Some bold shades below the body
Once you’re done with this one, you might also enjoy sketching a grooming mouse, an eating hamster or a chibi-style guinea pig for more variety. I also posted a guide for a cartoon style one with big glasses recently.
