In this lesson, you will learn how to draw a sea otter. It is a predatory marine mammal. The otter spends time both on land and in water. This animal looks very funny.
The otter has a cute face, the head is lighter, and the rest of the body is dark. The paws are short, on the hind legs there are webs between the fingers, so the paws are very similar to flippers. The fur is very thick, which allows the otter to stay in cold weather conditions for a long time.
Otters are friendly animals, and can safely let other animals and people near them. The number of sea otters is small, so hunting for these animals is prohibited.
