How to Draw a Platypus Coming Out of Its Underwater Entrance for Kids

Let's learn how to draw a platypus coming out of its underwater home in a few simple steps!

1. Start with the Entrance: Draw a small, curved tunnel opening at the bottom of the page. This represents the underwater entrance to the platypus's home. Make it look like a short, rounded cave.
2. Draw the Water Surface: Above the entrance, draw a wavy horizontal line to show the surface of the water.
3. Sketch the Platypus Body: Coming out of the tunnel, draw an oval shape for the platypus's body. It should be partly inside the cave and partly outside.
4. Add the Head and Beak: At one end of the oval, draw a smaller oval for the head and add a flat, wide beak sticking out. The beak looks a bit like a rounded paddle.
5. Draw the Legs and Tail: Add four short legs with webbed feet and a flat, paddle-like tail at the back end of the body.
6. Add Details: Draw small eyes on the head, some lines on the webbed feet to show the fingers, and some fur texture on the body with short, curved lines.
7. Add Water Details: Around the entrance and the platypus, draw some bubbles and wavy lines to show movement in water.
8. Color Your Drawing: Use brown or dark grey for the body, orange for the beak and feet, blue for the water, and light brown or tan for the underwater tunnel.

Now, you've drawn a cool platypus coming out of its underwater home! Great job!
