It's Cartoon Academ and we're learning how to draw a beaver.

begin with the nose towards the top center of our page.

It starts out as a square shape or rectangle with a little bump at the base.

An upside down letter Y forms the mouth.

And then we're going to turn that into sort of a house shape.

See how that looks like a roof.

And then a line down the middle.

Now we're going to come back up here.

Line here and here.

Now for the eyes.

Oval shapes one and.

Two.

Now we're going to add the eyelids.

Just a line across and a line across.

For the pupils.

Just two little dots in the eyes.

One and two.

Beavers are great swimmers and can actually swim underwater for up to 15 minutes.

Their ears and noses can actually close, and they have a special, clear, transparent inner eyelid that when it closes they can still see underwater.

Now for the head.

Top of the head.

We have a little scruff of hair that looks like that.

Come down.

Now I want you to notice the texture of my pan.

I'm going back and forth, back and forth and working my way inward.

Same the other side.

Back and forth.

That creates a fur like texture.

Good.

Let's add the ears a letter C dash letter C backwards dash eyebrows.

Some whiskers.

And just want to want to.

Little freckles.

There.

For the body.

We're going to come down.

Flatten it out.

And then make our way up.

Beavers are the largest rodent in all of North America.

All right.

There's a little bit of fur here and here to form the outline of the snout.

And then just a couple little whiskers under the chin.

For the front paws.

Sort of like this sort of come out letter U and N out a letter U and N, and then one, two, one, two.

Our hind legs are a number three.

Number three.

Number three.

Backwards.

And those paws.

And then a little bit of fur texture.

Just quick little rapid random lines like so.

Doing great.

The tail.

Very iconic and immediately recognizable.

We come up, down and n I'm to add a little bit of thickness to it, a little bit depth and dimension.

We just come up, follow that line and connect for the texture on the tail itself.

We use sort of a tic tac toe pattern that looks like this.

Just a grid, two lines up and then one, two, three across.

We're going to make them standing on a log.

Over, over.

A letter o across and a curved line up.

A little bit of texture on the log.

These are just quick little lines.

Just random.

Let us know.

This is wood This just in.

Scientists are studying why beavers have clocks in their homes.

And I think it's about damn time.

on the end.

Here we just add a little ring to the wood and it's floating in the water.

So we need that a little bit texture for the water to just line like this out and then out and back.

There you go.

That's your beaver.

Be sure to sign your name.

Take pride in your work.

I hope you enjoyed learning how to draw the beaver.

I knew that you would.
