Step-by-Step: Drawing a Crocodile

Step 1: Draw the Long Body

Draw a long, flat oval stretched horizontally across your page — wider in the middle, tapering toward the right for the tail. The body should be very low to the ground, almost like a log.

Step 2: Draw the Long Snout

At the left end of the body, draw a very long, flat rectangle extending forward — almost as long as the body itself. Make the top and bottom of the snout parallel and nearly flat.

Step 3: Add the Jaw Line and Teeth

Along the length of the snout, draw a zigzag line with large pointed triangles — these are the teeth that show even when the mouth is closed. Add triangles along both top and bottom jaw, interlocking slightly.

Step 4: Draw the Four Short Legs

Draw four stubby legs sticking out from the sides of the body. Each leg has three or four curved claw shapes at the end. Crocodile legs are very short and low-slung.

Step 5: Draw the Tail

The tail tapers from the right end of the body into a long pointed tip. Draw diamond ridge shapes running along the top of the tail — these are the scute plates.

Step 6: Add the Eye on Top of the Head

Near the snout on top of the head, draw a small raised oval — the eye sits on top so the croc can see while mostly submerged. Add a slit pupil inside.

Step 7: Add Scale Texture

Cover the body with small square and oval scale shapes in rows. Scales are largest on the back and smaller on the sides.

Step 8: Colour and Add Quick Animal Tips

Outline in black. Colour back dark green, sides medium green, belly pale yellowish-green. Teeth white, eyes golden-yellow.
Polar Bear: Big round head, teardrop body, all white with light blue shadow. Black nose, tiny black eyes.
Tiger Cub: Oval head, round ears, fluffy body. Orange with bold black stripes. White muzzle area.
Elephant: Large round head, huge fan ears, long trunk curling at the tip. Grey with wrinkle lines.

Colouring Tips

Crocodile dark green on back, lighter on belly. The contrast makes the body look three-dimensional.

Parikshet's Tips

  • The long flat snout is what makes a crocodile instantly recognisable — make it really long!
  • Scute ridges along the spine add a prehistoric, tough look.
  • Practice every day and you'll get better!
