How to Draw a Realistic Bat

/ October 20, 2011
Step 1.
Start out by picking your pencils. I used an HB for sketching/shading, 2H for light lines/shading, F for lines, and B for dark lines and shading. I also used pencils softer than B (4B, 5B) for darker shading.

Now using a B or F pencil outline the bat. Make the lines dark but don't apply them too strongly, they should still be erasable. Also sketch in your background if you want one.

I like developing my background at the same time as my foreground. Here I've defined some mountains in the background using HB and 4B pencils.
