When I searched the Internet for photos of mongooses, I really liked this plump and fluffy one. As cute as a cat! And I quickly drew a step by step lesson. And only then I began to look for its name. Helogale – a dwarf mongoose. This cute animal has a body length of 15-20 centimeters. A little more than a mouse!

So, let’s start drawing this tiny mongoose from the diagram.
