In this drawing lesson, we will show you how to draw Cheburashka – one of the most famous and recognizable characters created in the Soviet Union.
You may ask “Who is this?”. Cheburashka (in Sweden – Drutten) is a famous Soviet character created by Eduard Uspensky in 1965.

Cheburashka, like a Matryoshka, is one of the most famous Russian characters. By the way, here’s how the creator explains the strange appearance of the character – as a child he was presented with a defective soft toy, a cross between a rabbit and a bear with round ears. The parents told the kid that this is an unknown animal that lives among the palms in the rainforest.

Cheburashka is a creature that looks like a small bear with disproportionately large ears. Looks weird and creepy? Yes, we know. And today we are going to draw this strange thing. So, let’s get down to the lesson on how to draw a Cheburashka!

 

Step 1

Draw a circle first. Then draw two more circles on both sides of the circle (the ears can be round or oval, this is not important).

To draw a face, first sketch a vertical line of symmetry for the face – it divides the character’s head into two equal parts. Next, sketch out two horizontal lines that will help draw the top and bottom edges of the eyes. Next, draw the outline of the face in the form of a circle or oval.
