Step 1: Begin your red squirrel with a circle for the head. Make the bottom of the circle a little more narrow to leave room for the chin.

Step 2: Add tall, squiggly ears. Draw eyes in the middle of the circle, and then a nose, whiskers, and mouth at the bottom of the head.

Step 3: Squirrels can stand on their back legs so draw curved lines for the body that point down. Leave spaces for the legs.

Step 4: Draw the front legs next to the squirrels head. Draw small circles for its front paws.
