How to Draw a Snake Shedding Its Skin - Easy Step-by-Step Guide for 7-Year-Olds

How to Draw a Snake Shedding Its Skin

Let's draw a snake that is shedding its skin! This is a fun and interesting picture because snakes shed their old skin to grow. I'll guide you step by step.

Materials you will need:

• Paper
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Colored pencils or crayons (optional)

Steps:

1. Draw the Snake's Body: Draw a long, wavy line for the snake's body. Make the body look smooth and curved like an 'S'.
2. Add the Snake's Head: At one end of the body, draw a small oval or rounded triangle for the head. Make two little circles for the eyes.
3. Draw the Old Skin Peeling Off: Now, around the snake's body, draw another wavy line mimicking the snake's shape but bigger and a bit see-through. This represents the old skin the snake is shedding. Leave some parts of the old skin loose or hanging away.
4. Add Texture: On the snake's body, you can draw small diamond or circle patterns to look like scales. On the old skin, use light lines or faint shapes to show it is transparent and looks like skin.
5. Outline and Erase: Carefully outline your drawing with a darker pencil or marker. Erase any extra pencil marks.
6. Color your drawing: Use green, brown, or your favorite colors to color the snake. Use light colors for the old skin to make it look see-through.

Great job! You just drew a snake shedding its skin!
