Voles are small, cute, and furry animals that are part of the rodent family, just like mice and rats. They are often found in fields, meadows, and forests.

Voles are usually small, about the size of a mouse, but they have a rounder body and a short, furry tail. Their fur can be different colors like brown, gray, or even reddish.

Voles are social animals. They like to live in groups with their family members. They communicate with each other using squeaks and other sounds. They love to munch on grass, leaves, and sometimes seeds.

Did you know voles are great diggers? They use their strong front teeth and paws to dig their burrows. These burrows have lots of little rooms for sleeping, storing food, and raising their babies.

Voles have to be careful because they are small and many animals like owls, snakes, and foxes like to eat them. To stay safe, they stay hidden most of the time and only come out when it's safe.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw a field mouse. It is carefully in the grass, cautiously observing the surroundings, and seems to hear something moving. If you are interested in this vole, let's try to draw it together!
