How To Draw An Iguana – Letter I – Preschool

Let’s Draw an Iguana!

Drawing is super fun, especially when we draw cool animals like iguanas! Today, we will learn how to draw an iguana starting with the letter “I”. Get your crayons and paper ready, and let’s begin!

What You Need

• Crayons or colored pencils
• Paper

Step 1: Start with the Letter “I”

Draw a Line: Take a black crayon and draw a straight line down the middle of your paper. This is the iguana’s body.

Add the Top and Bottom: Draw a short line at the top and another at the bottom of the vertical line to make the letter “I”.

Step 2: Make the Iguana’s Body

Turn the Paper: Turn your paper sideways. This helps us draw the iguana lying down.

Draw the Back: Extend the top line of the “I” a little longer on one side and draw a slanted line down to make the back.

Create the Belly: Connect the bottom of the “I” to make the iguana’s belly.

Step 3: Add the Head

Draw the Head: Draw a circle at the top of the body for the head.

Add Details: Draw a smaller circle inside for the shiny eye. Make a curved line from the neck to shape the top of the head.

Mouth and Features: Draw a line under the eye for the mouth and a big circle on the cheek for a scale. Add nostrils and a little tongue!

Step 4: Draw the Legs

Front Legs: Draw two straight lines coming down from the front of the body. Add zigzag lines at the bottom for toes.

Back Legs: For the back leg, draw a slanted line and then a bent shape for the sitting position. Add zigzag lines for toes.

Step 5: Add the Tail

Draw the Tail: Start at the back of the iguana and draw a long, curved line like a backward “C”. Make it thicker as it gets closer to the body.

Connect the Tail: Bring the tail back towards the body, making it thinner as you go.

Step 6: Add Spikes

Draw Spikes: From the top of the iguana’s back, draw tall spikes going down the back and onto the tail. Make them smaller as they reach the tail’s end.

Step 7: Color Your Iguana

Now that your iguana is drawn, it’s time to color it! Use your favorite colors to make your iguana look amazing. You can add stripes, spots, or any other fun details you like.

Final Touches

Once you’re done coloring, you can add a background to your drawing to make it even more colorful.
