How to Draw a Penguin Step by Step
Kids or grown ups alike can follow these simple steps with this Penguin Drawing guide! I would recommend creating your drawing with a pencil, as you can erase if you have any mistakes. But you can always draw over it with an ink Pen or marker when you are done, to define it some more. You might find our Drawing Supplies for Beginners Post HERE useful. Have fun creating some of these adorable flightless birds!
Penguin Drawing Step 1
Step 1: Let’s start with the penguin’s body. To do that, draw an oval shape that is slightly tilted to the right.
Step 2
Step 2: Then, let’s proceed in sketching the head and tail of your flightless bird. For the head, sketch a keyhole-like shape on top with an end open. For the tail, sketch a flag-like shaped with one side attached to the bottom part of the body.
Step 3
Step 3: Add the beak, flipper, and feet of your emperor penguin. To add the beak, draw a horizontal “v” shape. Then add a line to separate the beak. Next, for the flipper, draw a curve line going downward with the endpoint near the tail. And, draw the feet that have the same shape as a duck’s feet.
Step 4
Step 4: Next we will draw the eyes by adding a half-shaded circle at the head part. Then, draw two straight lines on both sides of the circle.
Step 5
Step 5: Finish your lovely Penguin by adding in some shading to make it more realistic. Shade one side from the head going downward as well as under his chin and on his neck. Also color in his feet. You can add a sketched line around his feet if you like to create some ice.
The only thing left to do now is to color in your friendly aquatic bird! Go grab your markers, Crayola crayons, oil pastels or color pencils, or whatever you have on hand, and finish your artwork masterpiece! This one is colored in with black and white body with an orange beak, but you can let your creativity go wild and use whatever colors you like! You get to decide!
