How to draw penguins!

Nothing is happenning much lately, so I felt like I’d teach you something neat you can do. Just get out a pencil and paper, or open up your favorite design program, and let’s learn how to draw a penguin!
Start out with an egg shape. You can do this easily by drawing two circles and conecting them. Be sure to draw the two circles lightly so you can erase later.
Now draw a couple of light lines across your egg shape. They will help you draw the eyes and beak, and find out how the penguin is standing.





Now for the eyes. They are two squashed circles togather. The beak is similar to an oval.
For the feet it can be kind of tricky. Start out by drawing a light triangle or a triangle with rounded points. Then draw a light rectangle or rectangle with rounded edges under.
The arms go right under the beak. If your going to draw a straight arm draw two lines coming from the side of the penguin. If you want a bent arm your going to need a long cuved line going inside the penguin and another line that is already inside the penguin meeting the line.
To finalize your art draw about two curved lines making a balloon shape under the beak. You’ll need to start at the beak and go almost all the way down the penguin.
Guide lines are what you just made. You’ll want to darken the lines that aren’t guidlines such as the eyes, beak, egg shape, and rounded feet. Then erase the guide lines that you can.
