How to Draw a Platypus step by step with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and everyone.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing your mouth. Although ducks are mammals, they have a flat beak like a duck.
Step 2
Now add some details to the face. For eyes, draw two small circles at the end of the beak. For the nostrils, draw a small circle at the other end of the beak.
Step 3
Now draw the neck and foot this side. Do you know? Platypods have membranous feet that they use to swim through water.
Step 4
Next, draw the platypus body. Draw a short line behind the first leg, and a longer line on the other side. Leave plenty of open space on the back of the body – that’s where you’ll add the tail later.
Step 5
Now draw another leg forward. Do not forget to add webbing between toes!
Step 6
Your next step is to paint your hind legs. It looks like the front, but a little longer and more skin.
Step 7
Now that you have drawn the head and body of the platypus, all that remains is the tail. The duckweed has a very broad and flat tail, just like a beaver. This tail helps propeller while underwater, where it can breathe for nearly 30 seconds!
Step 8
Color the platypus to make it more realistic.
