- simple pencil,
- colored markers,
- eraser,
- a thick sheet of paper, the easiest way is landscape paper.
- first sketch out the head, pear-shaped body,
- then draw the pug: nose, mouth, tail, paw,
- emphasize various little things: squinting of the eyes and the pupils themselves, eyebrows, hair, ears.
- decorate the animal according to the pattern
The beaver is a real builder in the kingdom of animals, an endless worker of rivers and lakes. So let's draw a beaver exactly like that, not just an animal, but a hard worker!
First, we draw the future face of the beaver, shaped like an egg:
Approximately in the center we draw a nose, a little higher - the eyes, below - a smile and two teeth:
Now we draw cute little ears on the top of the head:
And add a mustache. This completes the beaver's face:
Drawing the body:
Add paws and arms to the beaver:
Now we draw the beaver’s tail:
Now comes the fun part. Let’s use our imagination and draw our aquatic animal with the necessary and useful tools for building a dam:
The beaver builder is ready!
To draw a beaver, you can use a picture with its image, from where you can redraw it, or video instructions with step-by-step drawing of these animals. It is better to start with a sketch of the silhouette of the animal, gradually drawing out the details.
I propose to draw a beaver with a pencil step by step as follows:
Drawing steps:
1) We start drawing with sketches of the body, head, arms, legs and tail;
3) We detail all the elements;
4) At the final stage we paint.
Beaver A rather interesting and to some extent cute animal, they live in families and build their houses together, almost everything is like people’s. You should start your drawing with a sketch of the animal’s skeleton, then draw the fur and of course add a piece of wood to the paws, because they love to chew on wood.
Here are the detailed drawing steps:
Let's draw a beaver, take a piece of paper, a pencil and an eraser, highlight the following steps:
First stage. Divide the drawing into cells. We then draw several shapes similar to an oval. This will be the image of a beaver.
Second phase. Using these figures we draw the torso of the beaver.
Third stage. Draw the elements of the beaver's face. We also draw his arms.
Fourth stage. Erase the extra lines on the drawings. Draw the beaver's tail. Plus we depict the fur on the beaver’s body.
Fifth stage. Add details to the beaver's face and body.
Sixth stage. He finally paints the beaver’s body, our drawing is finished and looks like this:
I’ll give you a simple version drawing of a small suspicious beaver, even in to a greater extent beaver, who looks at you with a slight squint and holds a twig in his paws.
We will need:
Step by Step Process of Drawing a Beaver:
Step-by-step photo diagram - how to draw a beaver:
The beaver is a hard worker rodent that feeds on the bark or young branches of trees. They build their own homes (huts or burrows) and stock them for the winter.
Many people would be interested in capturing such a hard worker on a camera, but also in trying to draw a beaver themselves. A picture like this is an excellent example for step by step drawing, starting with the muzzle (here they forgot to paint on his front teeth), eyes, then the body, tail, paws:
You can then finish drawing the trunk of the tree near which our hard worker is sitting.
This is such a wonderful beaver we got.
That's what a beaver is!
Let's try to draw it, step by step.
Step 1: You need to draw a large circle in the center of the sheet. In the upper part, outline the future face of the beaver.
Step2: Draw the ears, small round eyes and nose. Draw his paws and tail.
Step3: Now, using light lines, draw the remaining details of your beaver.
Step4: Now erase the guide lines; draw the paws and tail. Draw the mustache, draw the fur.
The beaver drawing is ready. If you want, you can color it.
You can also draw a beaver this way:
Or try to draw a beaver with your child like this:
Enough cute creature, which is considered one of the best builders of the animal world. Among distinctive features You can highlight the beaver's teeth (the main construction tool) and its large tail (almost half of its body).
Before drawing a beaver, dear radio listeners, welcome to the Russian language lesson, I will now give you all a lesson in proper speech. Remember, children:
— beaver is a living animal, and
— beaver- This is beaver fur.
Therefore, the phrase “a beaver gnaws a tree” is not a story about a cute animal, but about the adventures of a mad collar.
But let's not be boring! Agree, in fairy tales and cartoons “beaver” sounds much cooler than “beaver”. So let's be moderately illiterate, but in a good mood!
Let's draw a beaver, comrades.
Let's start with the beaver's head. The head looks like a slightly triangular egg. That is, an egg, but not too convex.
Let's draw a nose in the middle. Triangular, but the top line - see? - slightly convex.
Dash eyes...
...and this mouth, with a vertical stick.
The beaver's main weapon is its teeth!
The ears are a little more difficult. Just above the eyes we draw a straight line to the side...
...and draw two bananas from its end to the beginning: one narrower, the other wider. And we get a wonderful ear. Just a self-portrait of Van Gogh, if anyone knows.
Draw the beaver's second ear. By the way, when a beaver dives under water, its ears and nostrils are tightly closed with special valves.
The beaver's mustache is not too spreading - cheerful and bristly.
We draw a beaver with a well-fed belly the size of its head.
Notice how the character's physique shows their personality. Our beaver is a hard worker, a master, all such a thorough and clever master - and a stocky figure suits him better.
A beaver has webbed feet.
And we’ll draw hands like all the other animals from our drawn zoo.
Let's draw a pointed and fairly wide tail; he will still be able to steer with this tail.
We draw scales with a mesh. By the way, because of the scales on the tail Catholic Church once decided to consider the beaver... a fish! Are you wondering why the church is even interested in beavers? And everything is very simple. Since it’s fish, it means you can eat it during Lent. The height of hypocrisy, in my opinion.
Let's draw the master beaver's tools, a hammer and a saw. It would be logical to draw an axe, but a hammer will also come in handy.
My stomach just begs to have something drawn on it. Let's draw a beaver belt with screwdrivers, and our forest jack-of-all-trades is ready!
P.S.: While reading about beavers, I came across an amazing story.
In 1878, Alexander II approved the coats of arms Russian cities. From Irkutsk they sent a description of their old coat of arms, which depicts “BABR carrying a sable in his teeth.” The fact is that in the local dialect “babr” means “tiger”. But one of the St. Petersburg officials, unfamiliar with the dialect, decided that this was a mistake and corrected “babr” to “bobr”. “Beaver” remained in the approved description.
However, the beaver was never depicted on the Irkutsk coat of arms. It’s difficult for me to understand the artists’ logic, but they took a drawing of a tiger (babr), painted it black, gave it webbed paws and a beaver-like tail. It turned out unknown to science a beast that still adorns the coat of arms of Irkutsk.
Admire the babr before the 1878 mutation and after:
Everyone Have a good mood, summer has come!
In this tutorial I'll show you how to draw a beaver in 8 easy steps.
This guide builds on the previous steps until you reach the final step.
A few facts about beavers that might be interesting
- The beaver is a large semi-aquatic rodent that is nocturnal.
- They build dams, canals and their houses from logs.
- Beavers are the second largest rodents in the entire world.
- They move slowly on land, but swim well and can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.
- Beavers see poorly, but have good hearing, smell and touch.
- Our easy illustrations for drawing a beaver.
Step 1: Start by drawing the top of the head.
Step 2: Add the lower jaw by rounding the head at the bottom.
Step 3: Draw the bottom of the head.
Step 4: Draw the upper body and start the front paw.
Step 5: Draw in the belly and front paw.
Step 6: Add the remaining limbs and teeth.
Step 7: Start drawing the ears, eyes, nose and hind toes.
Step 8: Add the final details and tail.
The common beaver (Latin name: Castorfiber) is a prominent representative of the order of rodents from the beaver family. It is the largest rodent in the world after the capybara.
Quite often, in colloquial speech mammals are called “beaver”, however, if you turn to S.I. Ozhegov’s dictionary, you can find out that this word is used to mean rodent fur.
Appearance
The semi-aquatic animal reaches a length of 1.3 meters and a weight of up to 32 kg. Females are larger than males. Distinctive feature The mammal's tail is up to 30 cm long and has no hair. It resembles an oar and is covered with large scales and bristles.
The beaver's short, powerful hind legs are equipped with webbing between the toes. Large claws are curved and flat in shape. A notable fact is that the claw is forked on the second toe hind paw. With its help, mammals take care of their thick fur by combing it. The beaver is a very clean and tidy animal that regularly monitors the condition of its skin.
The beautiful fur of a beaver is considered valuable. It consists of coarse guard hairs, the down is very thick and silky. Color may have different shades brown in color, ranging from light chestnut to brown. Black representatives of beavers are found in nature. The rodent sheds from last days spring and before the beginning of winter.
The rodent has small ears that are almost invisible among the fur, but it has excellent hearing. Relatively small eyes are equipped with a transparent nictitating membrane, the so-called “third eyelid”. This device protects the animal’s organs of vision when diving under water, allowing it to see clearly in the aquatic environment.
The protrusions on the lips close behind powerful incisors protruding forward, which makes it possible to gnaw underwater.
In the anal area there are wen, paired glands and a beaver stream, which secretes a strong-smelling secretion - this is a red-brown, yellow-brown or dark soft mass. With its help, the beaver marks its territory and communicates.
Lifestyle
The banks of slow-flowing rivers, lakes, ponds and other calm bodies of water serve as a haven for rodents. Mammals avoid fast and wide rivers. In addition, they do not settle on the banks of shallow bodies of water, which can freeze to the very bottom in winter.
Representatives of the rodent order are excellent swimmers and divers. Air supplies are provided big lungs and liver. A beaver can stay under water for up to 15 minutes, while covering a distance of more than 700 meters. However, on the shore the animals are very slow and clumsy.
Mammals live mainly in families consisting of an average of 5-8 individuals, including a pair of adult beavers: a male and a female, young rodents - the offspring of the current and previous years. There are also solitary beavers.
Rodents are monogamous animals; the female dominates the family. Once a year she gives birth to offspring. The mating season of beavers occurs at the end of January and lasts until the end of February, while mating itself takes place in water under a layer of ice.
Pregnancy lasts about three and a half months. A brood can range from one to six young, which are born half-blind, but well furred. Their average weight is 450 grams. After just a couple of days, little beavers are able to swim. When they reach three or four weeks of age, the transition to a plant-based diet occurs. But the female continues to feed the beaver cubs with her rich milk for up to three months. Rodents reach sexual maturity only at the age of two years.
Important terms comfortable living of animals is the presence deciduous trees and various bushes on the banks. They also need a large amount of aquatic herbaceous vegetation, which constitutes their main diet.
The area of coastal land occupied by a family can serve as a home for several subsequent generations. The length of a family plot on large bodies of water can reach almost 3 km. The length directly depends on the amount of food. Rodents do not go far from the aquatic environment.
If the animal is in danger, the rodent in the water slaps its flat tail on the surface of the water and dives. This behavior serves as an alarm signal for other family members.
Mammals are active at night. In summer, beavers can stay awake until six o'clock in the morning. When the period of stockpiling for the winter begins, in the fall, they remain active until 12 noon. During the cold season, beavers rarely come to the surface from their shelters. IN very coldy animals are not chosen at all.
It is worth noting that in natural habitats a rodent lives on average 15 years; in captivity this figure doubles. There are cases where beavers lived up to 35 years.
Dams and huts
A skilled engineer who creates structures that demonstrate not only the presence of a highly developed intellect, but also traces of a consciously working mind.
Beavers live in huts or burrows, the entrance to which is located under water for safety reasons. In steep banks, animals make burrows that resemble a labyrinth, which has up to five entrances. The ceiling and walls of the home are carefully leveled and compacted. The living space is made at a depth of no more than a meter, its height is 50 cm, and its height is about a meter. Required condition is that the floor should be 0.2 meters above the water level. When water rises, the rodent lifts the floor, scraping the necessary soil from the ceiling.
Huts are built by rodents in places where it is not possible to dig a hole. They are a pile of brushwood held together by earth and silt. The hut has a cone-shaped appearance and reaches a diameter of 12 meters and a height of three meters. The walls of such housing are carefully lubricated with silt and clay; the result of construction is an impregnable fortress with holes in the water and an air hole in the ceiling.
In reservoirs where there is a change in water level, rivers and streams, beavers build dams, better known as dams. They help regulate the water level so that the entrances to homes are not drained and become easily accessible to predators.
Dams are made from tree trunks, branches, fastened together with clay, silt and other available materials. natural materials, which rodents carry in their front paws or teeth. When the water flows rapidly, stones are actively used.
Rodents stick branches and trunks vertically into the bottom, strengthening the distance between them with branches, and filling the voids with stones, silt, and clay. As a basis for construction, beavers quite often use a tree that has fallen into the water, which is subsequently covered with building material. The shape of the structure depends on the speed of the current. If it is small, then the dam is straight; with a fast flow, the dam is curved towards it. Beavers carefully monitor the condition of the dam and, in case of destruction, repair it, eliminating the leak.
The river beaver lives in the freshwater environment of lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. This animal was recently on the verge of extinction. This situation has arisen due to the fault of humanity, which likes to wear warm hats and fur coats.
The entire life of a beaver is connected to the aquatic environment. To make it easier for the animal to swim, there are membranes on its hind legs, and a large tail also helps.
The beaver reaches a weight of up to 23 kg and a length of 135 cm. Females are always smaller than males. The beaver is characterized by a blunt muzzle, small ears and short legs. The beaver's fur consists of several layers: the first layer is coarse red-brown hair, the second is a gray undercoat that prevents hypothermia.
The reservoirs in which beavers live should be in forested areas, deep and with a slow flow. Animals often create artificial conditions, “making” huge dams from tree branches, algae, and silt.
Beavers diligently build a dam in order to change the direction of water flow. Underwater, a beaver dam can be up to 3 meters thick, and from above it narrows to about 60 cm. The strength of the dam is surprising; it can easily withstand the weight of a horse!
Beavers purposefully change the water flow so that water floods dry places and forms a pond in which the animal will build a hut. Their house resembles an upside down cup. There are 2 rooms in the house: a family of beavers lives in one, this room is filled with rubble. And near the exit, the second room is a pantry with food supplies for the winter. The beaver's house can be seen above the surface of the water. But for protection purposes, the entrance is located under. water.
Schematic representation of a beaver dam and house. As you can see, the house is a separate building.
As expected, there are two exits from the house: the front exit and the emergency exit.
This is all great, of course, but why do beavers need dams? The answer is simple, in winter these rodents remain active and they need a dam of sufficient depth so that they do not freeze to the very bottom. The dam helps raise the water level. In general, you need to be well prepared for winter, otherwise you’ll be in trouble :-).
Film: “Beavers. Great builders." From the series “Alone with Nature.”
Interesting video about the life of beavers. By the way, did you know that beaver dams have the shape of an arc concave against the current; all modern dams built by man have the same shape. And it is no coincidence that an arc concave against the flow can the best way resist water pressure. On last minute Totally a blast :)
