In 9 easy steps, you will draw a platypus using basic shapes like ovals. We start with the body and end with the funny beak and tail.
Stappen
Draw a small oval for the head and a large horizontal oval for the body.
Connect the head and the body with two short lines for the neck and draw a line for the tail.
Sketch four small circles under the body where the legs should go and an arc for the beak.
Now draw the thick shape of the beak and give the legs their sturdy shape.
Make the tail wide and flat, just like that of a beaver.
Draw small toes on the legs and neatly finish the edge of the beak.
Place a small round eye in the head and draw sharp nails on the legs.
Draw small hairs on the back and make the lines of the tail and beak extra clear.
Erase the guide lines and draw a line for the ground your animal is standing on.
