Penguin Drawing

When kinder and first graders learn how to draw a penguin, the shapes need to be really simple, as in “draw an upside down U”. Or “make a large J”. In the beginning, it’s all about mastering shapes.

This penguin is pretty quick and easy, so students can have a bit more fun with the background. A circle of ice that is floating in the ocean offers all kinds of space to add more sea life.

Getting Started with Drawing Guides

The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point. You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow.

Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate.

So does that mean students need to get out a ruler to draw a big fat line down the center of their paper before they start? Goodness no, please don’t! That will most likely be hard to erase and distract from any finished art. No, simply fold the sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The beauty is that by the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will disappear.
