Questions and answers
What is the easiest penguin to draw in pencil?
The round waving penguin: it is an oval body, an oval belly, a beak and two feet. Then try the baby penguin and the penguin in a hat and scarf.
How do I shade a penguin with a pencil?
Fill the back, head and flippers with a soft 2B or 4B pencil in dense strokes going one way. Keep the belly white and add a light shadow near the edges so the body looks round.
How do I draw two penguins hugging?
Draw two oval bodies touching each other with the heads tilted together. Curve each flipper toward the other penguin so they meet in the middle, draw the closed eyes as small arcs and shade the backs with a soft pencil.
