How to draw an alligator

Learn how to draw this little alligator of your very own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Begin with some simple shapes.  Circles at that!

STEP 2

Mark off the limbs - in my case 'green' so you can better distinguish.

STEP 3

Draw the eye.

STEP 4

And the other one, including the top of its snout.

STEP 5

Follow along to complete the upper mouth.

STEP 6

Finish the head.

STEP 7

Now it's down to the arm...

STEP 8

And then keep going - to complete the tail.

STEP 9

Up to the right leg, and then join the body to the head by completing the stomach.

STEP 10

Lines are all done now!

A splash of color and we've got one neat-looking gator --- hope you had fun!  :-)
