How to draw a black-footed ferret

Black-footed ferrets are full of personality—they look like little stealthy wildlife heroes with their signature black eye masks and dark, boot-like paws! These super-fast prairie dwellers spend their time exploring underground burrows and hunting for prairie dogs. In fact, Wyoming played a huge role in saving these rare mammals from extinction! Learning to draw this sleek, secretive creature is a great way to discover one of North America's coolest species while practicing your art skills.

Step 1) Sketch the ferret using shapes: draw a large oval for the body, a small circle for the head, and rough shapes to for the legs and tail.

Step 2) Then refine the ferret’s outline and add subtle details, such as the shape of the feet and the ruffles of fur.

Step 3) Begin adding details to the head, such as the nose, eyes, and lines that give the face more depth.
