How to draw two cute penguins with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Sketch the head and body of the penguins
Start drawing with the outline of the penguin’s head and body. Make sure to leave some space above the head for the “fluff” and one space below the body for the feet, drawing the second bird with its head close to the other as if they were kissing.
Draw the top sections of the head into a large curved line with smaller lower curves down each side of it for cheeks.
Draw the sides of the body with two smooth curves and give it a slightly flat-looking bottom.
Step 2
Drawing penguin feet
Coming out from below the body add feet. Give each bird three toes with smooth curves in between them to show that they are webbed (like a penguin’s feet).
Step 3
Drawing penguin flippers
On the sides of the body, just below the head/cheeks, add flippers. Make each one wider near its base and narrower as it comes out. You can also draw each one with a slight downward curve following its shape.
Once done, delete the parts of the body contour that you added them to.
Step 4
Drawing penguin eyes
Draw each eye in an upside down “U” shape. Touching the inner corners of the eyes, draw another set of similar shapes for the pupils.
Inside the pupil draw a pair of small ovals for highlight/reflection.
Step 5
Draw the beak of a penguin
Just a little bit under the eyes draw the beak. Shaped a bit like a flat lemon. Inside it draw the mouth as a slight curve.
Step 6
Drawing penguin head feathers
To make the penguin look a little more interesting, add a bunch of small feathers to the top of its head.
Step 7
Penguin line drawing
To complete the penguin feather sketch. It should start at the top of the beak, then wrap around the eyes and cheeks, then follow the curve of the body.
After you have sketched all the parts of the penguin, you can outline your drawing with a black pen, marker, or darker pencil lines.
Step 8
drawing penguins
However, if you want your drawing to have a bright color similar to the penguin in the example then a marker can be a good choice, however you can also use paint or a pencil color if desired.
