Nile Crocodile Drawing

In this lesson, we will begin with a new piece of paper and learn how to create a nile crocodile drawing in no time. We will pay attention to the proportions of each part of the nile crocodile.

Time Needed: 20 minutes

1. Outline The Head

   

   First, draw the outline of the nile crocodile’s head as shown.

2. Draw The Face

   

   Next, draw a circle to form the eye. Now, add a small dot for the nostril and a zigzag line for the mouth.

3. Form The Body

   

   Draw two lines to form the elongated body of the crocodile.

4. Add The Legs

   

   Form the folded shape of its legs. Then, attach its clawed feet at the end of its legs. Don’t forget to erase parts of the body that overlap with the legs.

5. Attach The Tail

   

   Then, draw the long, pointed shape of its tail. Emphasize the dorsal crests along its tail by adding a zigzag shape on the top part of its tail.

6. Complete The Nile Crocodile Drawing

   

   Let’s color our nile crocodile drawing! First, use a black crayon to fill in the eye and add a rounded shiny spot using a white crayon. Next, color the underside of the crocodile using a cream colored crayon. Then, shade the rest of its body using a brown crayon. Finally, use a black crayon to add some rounded spots on its body and tail.
