Draw Alligator

Delight Intermission the "How to Draw an Alligator" video after each step to describe at your own pace.

For the kickoff few steps, don't press downwardly too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw 2 circles every bit guides for the alligator's torso. The circles don't take to be perfect. They're just guides. Pay attending to the placement of the circles. Likewise close and the alligator will be short. Too far apart and it will be also long. The circles should be roughly the same size. Get out enough room on either side for the alligator's caput and tail.

Step ii: Draw some other circle on the upper left side equally a guide for the alligator's head. This circle should be just a tiny bit smaller than the first two.

Step 3: Draw ii long arcs on the left side of the head as guides for the alligator'south open mouth. The arcs should be sparse and have a diagonal orientation. The ane at the bottom should be a little bigger. Alligators have a wider/broader snout than crocodiles. The difference is easier to see when looking downward at the reptiles from in a higher place.

Footstep 4: Draw a series of curved lines that connect the major shapes to form the alligator's body. A couple of lines in front form the neck, and a pair in the back make upward the torso.

Step 5: Describe three angled lines under the alligator's body as a guide for the legs. Alligators are depression to the ground, so draw the lines short. Bend them to signal where the joints will be. The hind leg on the other side will exist blocked by the trunk, so only draw the guide on this side.
