How to draw a penguin

Learn how to draw a cute little penguin of your very own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Planning ahead of time, I thought it would be fun to draw in the "North Pole" (looking like a candy cane)... even though of course... penguins are found at the south pole! Just for fun.  :-)

STEP 2

Draw in the circle and oval of your soon-to-be, cartoon penguin.

STEP 3

Next, it's on to the eye and beak.

STEP 4

Now follow along past the back of the head, and arcing around... bring the left wing into view.

STEP 5

Complete the front of the body - the oval helps!... and sketch in the first foor (the left one).

STEP 6

Draw in the other foot.

STEP 7

Draw in the North (South!!) Pole.  :-)

STEP 8

The other wing... some detail... and!...

You're done!  A simple coloring job makes all the difference in the world.  Nice work!
