“Snaily” the snail is a fun easy animal to draw especially for kids. Here’s a step by step guide on how to draw a snail for kids (or anyone else who wants to learn)!
1. Start by drawing a big oval shape for the snail’s body. Make sure the oval is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
2. Then add two small oval shapes for the snail’s eyes. Draw them near the top of the big oval on either side of the head.
3. Next draw a spiral shape for the snail’s shell. Start at the top of the oval and spiral downwards. Make the lines close together at first and then space them out as you spiral downwards.
4. Finally add two small circles for the snail’s feelers (or tentacles). Draw them coming out from the sides of the head near the eyes.
That’s it! You’ve now drawn a cute snail. You can add color to your drawing if you like or leave it as is.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind when drawing a snail:
– The shell should be one continuous spiral. Don’t break it up into sections.
– The feelers should be the same length.
– The eyes should be about the same size.
– The oval shape of the body should be wider at the top than at the bottom.
– Draw the lines for the shell lightly at first. Once you’re happy with the shape darken them.
Now it’s your turn! Get out a piece of paper and a pencil and give it a try.
