How to Draw a Baby Penguin

Penguins are some of the cutest creatures waddling about this planet, and they are even cuter when they are young. You can create a cute creature of your very own when you draw a baby penguin.

Instructions

1. 

   Create his face. Draw two fat circles above a round edged triangle. These serve as his little beak and two big eyes.

2. 

   Make a dome shape above his face. This is the top of his head and the outline for the rest of his body.

3. 

   Hook up his feet. Draw two shapes that sort of look like a sloppy crown. They both can be straight up and down or crooked, depending on how you want your baby penguin to be sitting. Draw a line to connect the bottom of his dome body and the feet.

4. 

   Draw a curved line for his belly. Start the line outside one of the feet, curve it up just below his beak and finish it off outside the other foot.

5. 

   Shade him in. Use a fat black marker or dark pencil shading to color in the top half of the dome body. Add two dots inside his eyeballs for pupils.

6. 

   Add fine details and color. Make two black dots inside his beak and three lines on the bottom of each foot. Pick a fine yellow or orange to shade in those areas.

Tips & Warnings

• To make your baby penguin even more infantile, you can draw a pacifier instead of a beak.

• To make him look like a kindergartener, you can top off his head with a beanie or one of those caps that have a spinning thing on top of them.

• Baby penguins work well on cards congratulating new parents.

• Baby penguins work well on nursery walls, but only if you have permission to draw them there.
