Drawing is a fun way to use your imagination! Today, we are going to learn how to draw a cute penguin. Get your markers ready, and let’s have some fun!
Let’s start by drawing two big circles for the penguin’s eyes. Put them in the middle of your paper. Inside each eye, draw a tiny circle to make the eyes look shiny. Leave these tiny circles white!
Now, draw a small “U” shape between the eyes for the penguin’s beak. Connect the top of the “U” with a curve to finish the beak.
For the penguin’s body, draw a big “U” shape starting from one side of the eye and curving down to the other side. This makes your penguin look cute and round!
At the top of the penguin’s body, draw a rainbow line to make the top of the head. Then, add a small “U” shape in the middle of the head. Color this part black to make the penguin’s head.
Draw another “U” shape around the body, starting from the bottom of the head and curving down to the feet. This will show the penguin’s shape.
On each side of the penguin’s body, draw small sideways “V” shapes for the flippers. Make sure they look the same on both sides!
For the feet, draw two more “V” shapes at the bottom of the body. Make sure they match in size and shape.
Now, you can add special details to your penguin! You can give it eyelashes or a flower to make it unique. Be creative!
Let’s draw an iceberg for your penguin to stand on. Draw a small line from each side of the penguin’s feet. Then, make a sideways “M” shape to connect these lines and form the top of the iceberg.
To make the iceberg look 3D, draw lines from the top of the iceberg down to the bottom. Make sure they match the angles!
Now it’s time to color your drawing! Use orange for the beak, black for the penguin’s body, blue for the iceberg, and pink for any extra details like flowers or rosy cheeks.
Great job! You’ve drawn a penguin and an iceberg. Remember, the best part of drawing is having fun and being yourself. It’s okay if your penguin looks different; that’s what makes it special! Enjoy drawing and keep being creative!
Penguin Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and look for objects that remind you of the shapes you used to draw your penguin. Can you find circles, “U” shapes, or “V” shapes? Draw or take pictures of these objects and share them with your class. Discuss how these shapes help us create different drawings.
Penguin Story Time: Create a short story about your penguin. Where does it live? What adventures does it go on? Draw a picture of your penguin in its new adventure setting. Share your story and drawing with your classmates. This will help you think about how your penguin fits into a bigger world.
Color Mixing Experiment: Use colored pencils or crayons to mix colors and create new shades for your penguin and iceberg. What happens when you mix blue and white? Try creating different shades of blue for the iceberg. Discuss how mixing colors can make your drawings more interesting and realistic.
