The lesson on how to draw a ferret is ready for you. Start this simple tutorial and learn many useful skills.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a ferret. It is a small carnivorous animal that lives in forests and steppes. Sometimes a ferret can be kept at home. Many people are happy to have such a pet.

This animal is surprisingly active. Ferrets are very fast, dexterous, and inquisitive. It is very interesting to spend time with such a cheerful and cute animal. You will surely enjoy drawing this little fidget.

The ferret has an elongated body, short legs, and a beautiful shiny coat. Usually, the legs and chest are darker, and the back and muzzle are lighter. Sometimes in nature, there are ferrets that have a uniform light color, but more often there are animals with a contrasting brown-beige color.

In order to make the drawing more realistic, you can detail the fur with thin, short lines.
