The steps in words

  1. Draw a big, tall egg. This is the penguin's body.
  2. At the top, draw a heart shape for the face, and a big circle under it for the belly.
  3. Inside the face, add two eyes and a little beak.
  4. Draw small, rounded wings on both sides.
  5. Add two wide feet at the bottom.
  6. Draw a scarf with fringes around the neck, then go over everything in black.

Tip: Without a scarf it is a regular penguin; with one it is ready for winter. Try adding a hat or mittens too.
