Where to begin
First you need to prepare the drawing tools:
- white paper
- simple pencils of various hardness;
- soft eraser.
Now carefully read the instructions and follow the advice of a professional artist step by step. The lesson will teach you how to draw a seal with a pencil. This is very easy to do in stages. For clarity, the article contains pictures.
Lesson 1. "Seal on land"
Step 1. Draw a large circle in the center of the sheet, a quadrangle next to it, and a small circle above it. These are the basics for the trunk, hind limbs and head, respectively.
Step 2. Connect two smooth lines of small and large circles for the image of the neck. Remember that the neck of this animal is wide. Draw the face of the seal as shown in the example.
Step 3. Connect two lines of a large circle and a quadrangle.
Step 4. Extend the lines of the body, gradually narrowing them so that you get a wide tail. Draw flippers on each side of the large circle. The seal rests on them when walking, so their lower part should be depicted parallel to the torso (as if arms bent at the elbows).
Step 5. Add a drawing of naturalness with several lines on the front and hind limbs, then revive our seal by drawing on the face of the eye, a mustache, nose, mouth and small ear. To make it clear how to draw a seal, refer to the figure above.
Step 6, final. Now you need to draw a pencil around the image along the main contour and remove all auxiliary lines with an eraser. The drawing is ready! Now you know how to draw a seal with a pencil. For beginners, this is as easy as getting started for professionals.
Lesson 2. "Swimming Seal"
We will supplement our knowledge and draw a seal floating in the water. To do this, we will carry out in stages only three steps.
Step 1. We draw a circle on paper, at the bottom two more semicircles of the same diameter. This is the basis for the face of a cute animal. From the head up, draw a trunk, the basis of which is an oval, narrowed on one side.
Step 2. A mustache on the face, large round eyes and a wide, flat nose will enliven our drawing. Close to the head, you need to draw fins that look a bit like bird wings. And behind you need to portray something similar to a fish tail - this is the lower limb of a seal.
Step 3. As in the previous lesson, you need to erase all auxiliary lines with an eraser and draw a pencil around the main contours. The work is done.
Now you know how to draw a seal. Good luck
