hi!! i was wondering if you knew of any rat art blogs and any tips for drawing rats? thanks!

oo okay 

I'm not sure of any blogs specifically for rat art off the top of my head ?

My #ref tag has a bit of stuff, but not tons. You'll also wanna see #motion of slowness and #videos for study

I recommend tips for drawing any animal 

start with the major components to the animal's body. Give its body and head more attention than its fingers/paws and eyes for now

watch lots of footage of it

watch slowmo videos

Get familiar with its movement and common behaviors

view its skeletal/muscular structures if you can

print out photos and draw big, simple shapes over them to break down the major parts

note the shapes' proportions relative to one another

think of each body part as an object instead of a body part

>>> E.g. if you're drawing an eye, don't be like "damm I have to draw this rat's eye". Be like "okay blueberry time, gotta draw this blueberry" 

>>> E.g. drawing a rat's body? Nah babe, that’s a few bigass grapes. Draw those grapes  

trace outlines over printed photos

graduate to freehanding with refs in front of you

start freehanding by memory, using your simple shapes and understanding of the anatomy + proportions to help you

hone in on finer details using the same tactics above: the shape of the ears, placement of eyes on head, slope of the snoot, angles of the legs, so on

bonus: print out photos of skeletal/muscular builds and try drawing in the animal on top

remember to try not to think of each part as that part.

E.g. you're not drawing a rat's ear, you're drawing a teardrop. Drawing a rat tongue? Corner of a Laffy Taffy

make sure you graduate from doing just side views and front views to more dynamic perspectives
