Penguin drawing in pencil. How to draw a penguin: interesting facts, steps

In this lesson you will learn how to draw an emperor penguin with a pencil step by step, standing on the snow, a huge ice floe. Penguins are birds, only they cannot fly, they live in coastal waters from the Galapogos Islands to Antarctica. The emperor penguin is the largest of all penguin species. Males can be distinguished from females by size, as males are taller and heavier (130 cm and 40 kg), and females are 115 cm tall and weigh 30 kg. Emperor penguins, like all penguins, eat fish and crustaceans. They hunt in packs, moving at an average speed of 4 km/h in water. Penguins live in large groups on ice floes near the water, if they are very cold, then they are pressed to each other and it becomes very warm inside, even if the ambient temperature is minus, for example -20. Their eyesight is very well adapted to see in the water.

Let's draw from this photo.

Draw a circle - this will be the size of the head, then determine the length of the body, you can measure with a pencil and project this size onto paper, marking a horizontal strip. Then I sketched a curve that would show me the side of the penguin, for example, like .

In the beak, draw the area that is orange in the penguin, and the wing. I approximately divided the body in height in half, the elbow is slightly higher.

Draw paws and tail, erase all unnecessary lines.

Paint over the dark areas very dark, and the abdomen in a light tone.

The lateral part of the penguin on the left obscures more, the body is not illuminated there. In front we draw rare feathers.

For uniformity of color, you can shade with the edge of paper or cotton wool. We show a dark area near the head on the neck. you can also draw wild expanses of ice and snow, then on the left you will need to finish the shadow of the penguin. The drawing of the penguin is ready.

A detailed article is a master class on how to draw a penguin in stages using colored pencils.
In this example, we will show you how to draw two cute penguins. The article will be useful both for children, in order to learn step by step drawing, and for adults.

One penguin is good, but if there are two of them, then this is much better. We will tie them with a long scarf and start learning how to draw penguins in stages using colored pencils.

• colored pencils in black, yellow, orange, blue and cyan;
• a simple pencil of medium hardness;
• eraser;
• sharpener;
• paper.

Stages of drawing penguins:

A pair of penguins sit cute next to each other. To draw them at the first stage, it will be enough to draw two circles in the center of the sheet.

Now distribute the outline of the border on the torso of the penguins.

In the lower part of each body, draw two tiny ovals on the sides. We get cute penguin paws.

We draw eyes. The penguin on the left side will have them open. Therefore, we will depict them in the form of ovals. But the eyes of the right animal are closed. So let's draw them in the form of two arcs.

We begin to draw a beak for each penguin.

We finish drawing at the top on each muzzle one arc and we get ready-made beaks. You also need to draw one wing on each side.

Now draw a long and warm scarf using simple lines. A pair of penguins comfortably shopped together in it and are enjoying their time together.

We remove the auxiliary lines to prepare the drawing for applying colored pencils.

So, first take a black pencil. They will color the main part of the body of the penguins. Also completely paint over the oval eyes and give the contour to the small elements in the picture.

With a yellow pencil, completely color the two beaks and two pairs of legs. We apply an orange tone to the base color to give volume to the resulting elements.

We will create a blue scarf and for this purpose we use pencils of several tones at once.

At the last stage, you can correct some elements in the drawing to make it look even better. This completes the step-by-step drawing of penguins.

Now you know how to draw a penguin easily and simply.

Hi all! Today we have prepared a new drawing lesson for beginners, which, as you have already seen, will focus on how to draw a penguin.

The lesson will be simple - our artists specially rendered it in such a way as to avoid any difficult moments with proportions, pose, shadows or anything else. Despite the simplicity of drawing, this work in your performance can look very, very good. Actually, let's take drawing paper, your favorite pencil, eraser and let's get started!

Step 1

First, draw the contours of the body and head. It looks like - the body is indicated by a large rounded figure, the head looks like a rounded figure of smaller sizes.

Step 2

Now a small and again, a rounded figure, let's draw a beak. It should be located slightly to the left of the middle of the head relative to us.

Step 3

It's time to draw the eyes of our penguin. They look like a pair of ovals, each of which contains an oval smaller in size according to the principle. Pay attention to the position of the small ovals - it is this detail that conveys the direction of the gaze.

Step 4

With one smooth line we denote the eyebrows and cheeks of our penguin. Here, the important point is the distance between the cheeks and the contours of the head - to the left of us the line of the cheeks is inside the contour of the head, there is a small distance between these lines, and to the left the line of the cheek goes significantly beyond the contours of the head.

Step 5

Okay, now let's use a couple of very short smooth lines to connect our penguin's head and torso on the sides. Here we will draw the contours of the wings - look, they are slightly bent in different directions. By the way, we have a very similar level of difficulty, do not forget to look if you want to practice on simple drawings.

Step 6

Let's draw wide, splayed in different directions paws. In the same step, we will draw a border in the lower right part of the body from us.

Step 7

Erase all unnecessary lines from our penguin, clean up the drawing and outline the main lines.

Step 8

The final step is to paint over the dark areas on the body and on the face of our penguin, using a simple soft pencil. Here you should pay attention to the glare of the pupils - these two white spots must be left unpainted, this is a very important detail. It will be more convenient to pre-mark their contours before painting. It is best to place them in the same places as in our sample.

Actually, it was a lesson in which we told how to draw a penguin for children and budding artists. We hope everyone succeeded. On this we say goodbye and invite you to look at our site for fresh drawing lessons!
