Drawing the Red Panda is simple to do and is perfect for beginners of all ages.

Steps

  1. 1
    Place your paper on a hard surface.
  2. 2
    Take your pencil and starting one third of a way down the page lightly draw an oval for the head.
  3. 3
    Draw two half circles on top of the oval to make the ears.
  4. 4
    Draw a bigger oval connected to the bottom half of the first oval. This is the main body.
  5. 5
    Draw two small circles inside of the bigger oval for the paws.
  6. 6
    Draw a fluffy, curved tail connected to the bigger oval. Like a tube with a rounded end to make the tail.
  7. 7
    Go back to the first oval and draw two black dots for the eyes.
  8. 8
    Add another smaller dot between the eyes a little lower to make the nose.
  9. 9
    Take your red pencil and make a curved line from each of the eyes going down to look like tears. These are markings that the majority of Red Pandas have.
  10. 10
    Color the remainder of the drawing. Red Pandas typically have reddish brown, white, and black colors. Their tails are striped white and red/brown or red/brown and black. Their ears are white, and limbs/paws black. If you want, you can have white circles above the eyes for cute, round eyebrows.

    Yes. In fact, use any colors you want! Be creative with your red panda. Being creative is important, so don't freak out if you don't have realistic colors.
