How to Draw a Crocodile: Step-by-Step for Kids

Crocodiles are ancient, powerful reptiles with armoured scales and massive jaws. Here is how to draw a fearsome crocodile step by step!

What You'll Need

  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Paper
  • Dark green, olive, and yellow markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Long Flat Body

Draw a very long, narrow horizontal shape — like a stretched, slightly flattened sausage. Crocodiles are extremely long relative to their height. The body should be about five to six times longer than it is wide.

Step 2: Draw the Tail

The tail tapers gradually from the body to a fine point at the right end. The tail is about as long as the body itself and has a slight upward curve at the tip.

Step 3: Draw the Head and Massive Jaws

At the left end of the body, draw the crocodile's distinctive long, flat snout. The upper jaw is a long flat rectangle ending in a blunt rounded front. Draw the lower jaw below it — slightly shorter and narrower. Open the jaws wide to show the teeth.

Step 4: Draw the Teeth

Along both jaws, draw a row of irregular triangular teeth. Crocodile teeth are not all the same size — vary the heights. One or two lower teeth should stick upward past the upper jaw even when the mouth is closed (this is a characteristic crocodile feature).

Step 5: Add the Eye and Nostril

Near the top of the snout, draw a raised oval eye with a vertical slit pupil. Crocodile eyes sit on top of the head so they can watch above water while the rest of the body is submerged. Add two small nostril holes near the front tip of the upper jaw.

Step 6: Draw the Four Short Legs

Below the body, draw four short, stubby legs. Crocodile legs splay outward from the sides of the body. Add broad, splayed feet with four clawed toes on each.

Step 7: Draw the Ridged Back

Along the top of the back and along the tail, draw a row of pointed scute ridges — like a row of small triangular peaks running from behind the head all the way to the tail tip. These armoured ridges are a defining crocodile feature.

Step 8: Add Scale Texture

Cover the body surface with a scale pattern — draw overlapping irregular curved rectangles across the sides and back. The belly has a smoother, lighter-coloured pattern of larger rectangular scales.

Adding Colour

The back is dark olive green or dark grey-green. The belly and throat are much lighter — cream, pale yellow, or light grey. The back ridges are slightly darker than the body. The eyes are yellow or orange with a dark vertical pupil.

Tips from Parikshet

  • A very long, flat body is the most important thing — a short or tall body won't look like a crocodile.
  • The irregular teeth varying in size look much more realistic than perfectly even ones.
  • Draw the eye raised on a bump on the top of the head — this is how crocodiles watch the surface while mostly submerged.
