How to Draw Bilby
Step 1:
Begin with a simple curved line for the head and add a circular shape for the bilby’s nose.
Step 2:
Sketch the bilby’s face, adding an eye, nose tip, and a smiling mouth.
Step 3:
Draw curved triangles for the ears and add inner details to the ears. Extend the back line downward to start forming the body.
Step 4:
Now, draw a curved line starting from the bilby’s ear to create the back of the bilby.
Step 5:
Continue the body shape, adding a front leg and outline for the belly.
Step 6:
Sketch the second front leg, giving shape to the bilby’s chest.
Step 7:
Add the hind leg and define the toes on the feet, giving attention to the unique shape of the bilby’s paws.
Step 8:
Complete the outline by adding the second hind leg and refining the shape of the body.
Step 9:
Sketch the tail, making it thick at the base and tapering to a point.
Step 10:
Finish your drawing by coloring the bilby, typically in shades of grey with a white underbelly and black-tipped ears and tail. The nose is often pink.
