Introduction
If you ever thought of drawing a kangaroo, but gave up halfway because you found it tough to draw, don't worry, you're not alone. I too had no idea on how to draw kangaroos. But recently, I mustered up the courage to try and learn how to draw these animals. So, I went through a bunch of tutorials on YouTube, and taught myself various techniques to do so. If you still want to try and learn how to draw them, I recommend you do as I did, and study these tutorials.
To draw a kangaroo, you first work out the outlines of the kangaroo, and then add the details. You also need to decide whether or not you want to put a baby in your kangaroo’s pouch. If you’re eager to do so, you’re drawing will require a bit more work. But the kangaroo drawing looks much better with the baby in its pouch.
