Red Panda Sketching Guide
We will start by drawing the panda's head. Draw a round face that looks like a giant circle, with smaller circles on top. Draw the visual. They're there for the panda's ears, which make the appearance of fluffy panda ears, so be sure to make them round.
Now we draw the cute, big panda eyes. Draw the eyes in a large circle, and make them look more realistic by adding a tiny bit of shine.
Draw a thick, elongated oval tilting to the side so the panda's body and fur look fluffy and thick, like the elongated oval.
Now don't forget the tail. The longer the tail, the better. A thick bushy way to round it up and a striped break in the bushy way. Start by drawing a long, big, thick tail with long stains.
The red panda is done once the drawing is done, so now it is time for the colour. Coat the panda in reddish fur for the legs, ears, and eyes. Then shade the body to give the drawing depth and a sectional look. Remember to coat them in warmth.
