How to Draw a Penguin
Learn how to draw a penguin step by step with this elementary drawing tutorial for schoolers and preschoolers.
What does this animal eat? The diet is usually fish and crustaceans. It is interesting that during the molting period (and in some species – during the period of incubation of chicks), penguins stop eating. In order to maintain the required level of energy, their bodies begin to use up the fat reserves created the day before. Initially, drawing a penguin may seem difficult, but with the help of our instructions you will get a nice colorful drawing. Let’s start!
Time needed: 30 minutes.
How to Draw a Penguin
- Draw the body.
In appearance, the body of the future penguin resembles an avocado or peanut. Draw an appropriate large figure on the sheet, focusing on the image. Note that the top will be narrower than the bottom.
- Draw plumage.
Draw this part with a curved line. It rises to the head and forms a heart-shaped curve, and then gently descends. Please note that the end of such a line should be lowered slightly lower than on the opposite side of the body.
- Draw the eyes, beak and crest.
Inside the marked area of the plumage, place two identical small ovals that will serve as the eyes of the bird. Between them is a small beak in the form of an irregular quadrangle. Finish the step with the image of a tuft: draw a couple of arcs on the head.
- Draw the wings.
Draw an arc to each side – you get wings. One of them is raised up. Partially erase the head line in the tuft area with an eraser.
- Draw the legs.
Each foot is indicated by three arcs. The paws of the animal are identical to each other. Do not forget to partially erase the line of the torso in the area of the wings with an eraser.
- Color penguin drawing.
