Fruit Bat Drawing

In this basic drawing tutorial, we will learn how to draw a fruit bat drawing on paper. To make sure it looks great, we will proportion out the different sizes and shapes of each part of the fruit bat. The lines in each illustration is made of blue so you can identify the current lines that you will be creating.

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. Draw The Eyes And Nose

   

   First, draw two ovals to form the eyes. Next, we draw a rounded triangle to create the bat’s nose.

2. Form The Head

   

   To form the fruit bat’s head, create an oval shape. Then, attach a curvy oval to form the snout. A fruit bat’s snout is longer than other types of bat snouts. They are sometimes referred to as “flying foxes”.

3. Attach The Ears

   

   Draw two pointed shapes at the top of the head for the outer ears. Next, create smaller pointed shapes to form the inner parts of the ear.

4. Draw The Body

   

   First, create a bumpy shape below the head to form the fluffy part of the bat’s fur. Then, draw a U-shape line for the rest of the body. Lastly, attach an elongated V-shape to form a tail.

5. Attach The Lower Limbs

   

   To attach the limbs, draw slightly curved vertical lines with a rounded shape. Make sure to add pointed ends to form the bat’s claws.

6. Attach The Arms

   

   In forming the arms, draw two thin, elongated, and pointy shapes on both sides of the bat’s body. Next, we add small pointed shapes on the arms to create the bat’s thumbs.

7. Form The Wing Membrane

   

   Create the bat’s wing membrane by drawing a pointy line at one end of the arm and attaching it to the other end as shown.

8. Add The Fingers

   

   Add the fingers of the fruit bat by forming lines from the arm connecting to the pointed parts of the wing membrane.

9. Complete The Fruit Bat Drawing

   

   Let’s complete the fruit bat drawing by first coloring the wing membrane, snout, nose and outer part of the ears with a black crayon. Now, use a black crayon to shade the eyes and use a white crayon to add some shine to it. Next, shade the inner ears and fluffy part of the bat’s body with a light brown crayon. Finally, use a brown crayon to finish coloring the bat’s body.
