Draw a Platypus, Step by Step
1
The first thing we need to do is draw the guidelines and shapes to create the foundation for this animal.
2
Define the shape of the platypus' head and then sketch in some of the back part of the neck.
3
We will now draw the shape of the bill which looks very much like a duck. When that is done add some nostrils and then the eyes, and forehead indents.
4
Begin drawing the body starting with the left side. Draw the front feet or hands as well.
5
Sketch out the shape of the flowing movement of the platypus' body. This is a drawing lesson of the animal in motion so be sure to follow this step correctly. Don't forget to draw the thigh too.
6
Draw in the back legs and feet like so, then you can move along to the last drawing step.
7
All you have to do here is give your platypus a tail. Erase the mistakes along with the guidelines.
8
That's it, you are all done. Color in this animal native to Australia and Tasmania and you're done.

Description: I received a request to do lessons on animals from Australia so here they come. I will start with this lesson on how to draw a platypus, step by step. These animals are so different and strange. They have the feet and limbs similar to a beaver or otter. Their noses are considered to be beaks or bills and they can thrive in both water and land. I think these animals are super strange, but very cool and drawing a platypus was definitely something that I enjoyed. Here is your chance to create your own as well. Have fun and meet me back here in a bit.
