How to Draw a Bat: Step-by-Step for Kids

A bat is a small furry animal with large wings that are really long fingers covered in skin. Draw the wing bones first and the rest is easy.

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Bat

Step 1: Draw the body

Draw a small oval in the middle of the page for the body.

Step 2: Add the head

Draw a small circle on top of the body. Add two large pointed ears.

Step 3: Draw the face

Draw two small round eyes, a tiny nose and a small mouth. Add two little fangs for a spooky touch.

Step 4: Draw the wing arms

From each shoulder, draw a bent line going out and up, like an elbow.

Step 5: Add the wing fingers

From the end of each arm, draw three long thin lines fanning downward, like fingers.

Step 6: Add the wing skin

Connect the ends of the fingers with curved scalloped lines, and join them back to the body.

Step 7: Draw the feet

At the bottom of the body, draw two small feet with tiny claws.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Bat

Use dark brown, grey or black. A slightly lighter colour on the wing skin makes the bones show. A moon behind the bat makes a perfect night scene.

Tips for Drawing a Bat

  • Scallop the bottom edge of each wing. Straight edges look like a plane.
  • Draw the two wings the same size by matching the finger lengths.
