Animals to draw with your hands
The funny octopus
The first step to make this fun octopus is to draw the palm of your hand on the white cardboard with the help of the black marker.
Turn the cardboard to turn the palm upside down and also draw the eyes, mouth and a small bow on the octopus's head with the black marker to give it a nice touch.
Next, take the colored markers to color the body and head of the octopus as well as the suction cups on its tentacles.
Once you have made these details you can take advantage and add other details such as some bubbles or little fish that accompany the octopus in the drawing.
The thoughtful bunny
As a first step to making this thoughtful bunny, take the black marker and draw the outline of your hand on the white cardboard with the index finger and little finger raised. The fingers will be the bunny's ears.
Next, with the black marker, draw the rabbit's eyes, nose, mouth and teeth. Next, she takes a pink marker to color the ears, cheeks and nose.
Then, on his head, also draw a small carrot to wrap it in a sandwich that will be what the rabbit thinks about.
The talkative parrot
Another design you can make to teach children to draw with their hands is a talking parrot. To do this, the first step is to draw the outline of your hand on white cardboard with a black marker, recreating a U with your fingers, placing your thumb on the bottom.
Then, with the black marker, continue painting the parrot's facial features: eyes, beak, tongue, and so on.
Next, use the colored markers to color the body and draw the animal's feathers.
The barking dog
Another animal that you can teach children to draw with their hands is a puppy. This silhouette is very simple. You just have to place the palm of your hand face up with the thumb on top and the little finger on the bottom. The thumb will be the ear while the little finger will be the mouth.
Take the black marker and draw the outline of your hand. Next, draw the details of the dog's face: ear, eyes, muzzle, mouth, teeth and tongue.
Also draw the dog's collar and if you want you can add a small bow on its head.
Then take the colored markers to color its fur, tongue, eyes, bow and collar.
The sitting cat
The first step to make the sitting cat model using your hand is to draw the outline of your fist with the black marker on the white cardboard with the middle and index fingers bent.
Then, use the marker to draw the rest of the cat's body. That is, the ears, legs, tail, face of the animal and other details of its fur such as stripes or spots.
The next step is to color the cat. To do this, choose the markers that you like the most.
La gaviota
To learn how to do this craft, the first step you will have to take, as in the other proposals, is to draw on white cardboard and with a black marker the outline of the palm of your hand with the thumb well separated from the rest of the fingers, which will all remain together.
Next, turn the cardboard over so that the thumb is facing up as it will serve to represent the head of the seagull.
Grab the black marker to take the next step. It will be drawing the details of the head and body of the bird: the eyes, the beak, the wings, the legs or the feathers.
Finally, take the colored markers to color the seagull.
The giraffe
Another of the fun models that you can teach children to draw with their hands is a mischievous giraffe that sticks out its tongue.
To do this, take the black marker and draw the outline of your hand on the white cardboard in the following way: extend the palm of your hand on the cardboard diagonally and bend the middle finger so that only the other four fingers are stretched. . These fingers will be used to recreate the ears and horns of the giraffe.
Next, with the help of the black marker, draw the facial features of this animal such as the eyes, nose, chin, neck and mouth with the tongue.
Finally, take the yellow markers to paint the giraffe's fur, brown for the horns and spots, and red or pink for the mouth and tongue.
The peacock
This is one of the cutest designs to teach children to draw with their hands. To make it, you will have to draw with the black marker on the white cardboard the outline of both hands, left and right, taking as reference the thumb, which must always be on top to recreate the head of the turkey.
Then draw the lower part of both hands in one stroke and draw the belly and legs of the turkey. In this view, the bird will look from the front as if it has its tail extended in all its glory.
Then draw the details of the turkey's face (the eyes, the beak, the feathers on the head...) as well as the details of the rest of the body (the legs, the belly, etc.).
Finally, take the blue and green markers to decorate the bird's plumage as well as the yellow ones to color its beak.
