How to Draw a Mole
1
There is only four drawing steps, and one line art step. To start, you will draw a circle for the head, and then draw the shape of the moles body like you see here. For the front foot or claw, you have to sketch out the shape of a small shoe.

Begin sketching out the cone like shape of the moles head. The lining should be a bit shaggy looking, and when you are done, draw the shape of the nose tip. Sketch in the tiny eye, and then sketch out the fur lining on the back of the head as you see

Now you can start sketching out the shapes of the moles front and back claws. Remember, they need to be drawn to look hearty, and strong. The nails are also thick and long. Once the paws are drawn, you can then sketch out the belly and some of the ba

Now that you have reached your last step, you can finish it off by sketching out the lining for the moles back, and then the small stubby looking erect tail. Add a bit of detailing, and then start erasing some of the lines and shapes you no longer ne

That's it, you're done. Grab your gray or black crayon, marker, or colored pencils, and start coloring in your newly drawn animal. Nice job in drawing a mole guys, if you like you can add a tunnel hat on the chaps head.

Description: There is an odd creature that I happened to start reading about while I was riding shotgun in my friends car. The article was in an animal magazine, and I found it to be quite interesting. The animal I am going to give you a lesson on is a mole. Now, let's get one thing clear, I know that there is such a thing as these critters, but who really even thinks about them? I mean, if it wasn't for the article I was reading, I wouldn't even have thought about doing a tutorial on “how to draw a mole". Not only are they odd, they are very strange looking as well. From what I've gathered, they are indeed mammals, and they can be found in varies places in the Northern Hemisphere. They sort of look like a cross between rats, and groundhogs. I say rats because their hides or fur come in either black or gray, and they are small like rodents too. Moles normally grow to be six inches in length from nose to tail, but the ones that are found in North America, can grow to be nine inches. These types are called “western moles”. There is a few different species of mole too which is interesting. In some cartoons, creators depict these animals to be blind, and deaf. That's because their ears are not external, but they seem to have sharp hearing capabilities. Remember when I said that they are also are considered blind? Well, that's because their small eyes are covered with skin or fur. Despite this, they are still sensitive to changing light. Moles also have an intense sense of touch that is based at the ends of their noses and tails. Speaking of noses, if you where to look at one of these animals, you will see that the nose is one of the more predominate parts of their body. The other are their feet, which are strong, and are literally used like shovels. Since moles live beneath the earth, they have to dig tunnels to live in and thrive. Not only are they excellent underground travelers, moles are good swimmers too. As for their diet, as you can imagine they eat earth worms, but sometimes they will feed on mice and even another mole. They are solitary animals that only travel in pairs when mating season arrives. All in all this species is pretty incredible. As for me, I had fun "drawing a mole", and I think you will too. Oddly, there isn't any lessons online that can teach you how to draw one of these animals which is pretty strange because they are pretty popular. Well that does it for this tutorial description. Have fun with the lesson, and let me know what you think when you are done. Adios!
