Looking at little funny snails is one of our favorite childhood pastimes. And although snails are known for being slow and clumsy, they are very interesting to draw. So, let's figure out how to draw a snail. Let's consider two options: realistic and cartoon.

Drawing a realistic snail using pencil technique

This step by step instructions will be very useful for those who want to do realistic drawing snails in pencil. It's okay if you have no experience in drawing - detailed description will allow even a beginner to cope with this task.

Let's start with general forms. The shape of a snail's shell is close to a circle - let's draw it.

Now you need to make a blank for the head and slightly refine the shape of the shell.

Let's draw the snail's body. It should be elongated, similar to a small sausage. We also need to make auxiliary lines for the “horns” - or, to be more precise, the eyes and tentacles.

Let's make the “horns” voluminous, with small balls at the end.

Now let's take care of the sink. Draw inside general form a spiral going from the edge to the center.

That's it, the contours are done. Before you start shading, you need to carefully remove all auxiliary lines and shapes from the sketch.

We shade very lightly, marking the shadow areas. At the same time, we must not forget about the structure of the shell - it has transverse stripes, which also need to be indicated by shading.

The body also needs to be shaded.

All, pencil drawing snails are ready.

How to draw a snail in cartoon style

Realistic drawings look very beautiful and professional, but drawing cute animals “like from a cartoon” has its own charms. In addition, even a child will be able to depict them.

Let's start, again, with a blank circle. This is the future shell.

Now let's add the head, body and eyes. You can also add a smiling mouth and outline the cheeks.

Then we will make a curl on the shell - it will converge in a spiral towards the center of the circle.

Let's draw transverse lines on the shell of our snail. And also freckles.

For expressiveness, let’s carefully draw the contours with a marker.

And then - one more time.

At this stage, our funny smiling snail is completely ready. If desired, you can additionally color it - this will make the drawing look brighter. Those who like to learn from videos will be interested in this lesson.

Hello again everyone!
Call your children to the monitors, because today we will learn how to easily draw a minion step by step. For those who don’t know, minions are such cute and funny characters from the animated trilogy “Despicable Me”. All of them yellow, look like a package from a chocolate egg toy, speak their own language and always find themselves in interesting situations under the leadership of their owner, an awkward man with big nose named Gru. Although I think that every adult, and even more so a child, can imagine what these restless pets look like.
I will draw with a felt-tip pen, you can follow my example or use with a simple pencil, so that if something happens, you can correct the drawing. Take a sheet of paper, preferably a landscape one.
If you want to draw a large minion, then it is better to place the sheet vertically; if you plan to draw several pieces next to each other, then you can horizontally. All minions are very similar to each other, but there is one significant difference - some are luckier and have two eyes, while others are content with only one. I will draw a more developed yellow belly, which sees twice as well.

I'll start drawing from the eyes. First, we draw two identical circles, around which we make an edging. The edging will serve as glasses in the future. The result is an eight.

To make the eyes real, add pupils to them. I draw two pieces, whoever decides to draw a one-eyed Cyclops can do it twice as fast!

At the next stage, we will draw a body for our minion. Here you can dream up. Depending on the size of the torso, it will be tall, short or normal, like mine.

Are there bald minions? Certainly! But I decided to make mine handsome and gave him these rare curls. You can depict the hair on your head in a different way, for example, draw a thick bunch from one point, similar to how a palm tree grows. And at this stage, don’t forget to draw the glasses strap. It turned out like this.

The yellow men are mostly dressed in the same denim overalls, in other words just pants with straps. My friend is no exception. Now I’ll draw the very straps that hold the pants on. The dots on the straps are buttons or buttons.

Almost left our yellow hero without the opportunity to discuss latest news with brothers. Let's go back and draw his mouth. I love to smile, so of course I decorated my face with a smiling grin.

What's next, you ask? Next we will draw the hands, one raised up, the other down. Yours may be different, both up, both down, you can even depict one-armed bandit. In fact, these are just blanks; a little later we will turn them into real hands.

Let's return to the torso and clothes, let's complete the overalls with the obligatory pocket in the middle.

On next step let's finish the arms and draw the hands, in my drawing it turned out like this.

There is a head, there are hands. What's missing? Correctly draw the minion's legs. This is also easy and simple to do. That's it, the drawing is ready!

Of course, children love colorful and bright drawings more. Therefore, to ensure that the impressions from today’s lesson remain in your memory for a long time, take pencils or markers and color the picture, as I did. Our minion itself is yellow, the clothes are blue, the eyes are brown, and the glasses can be shaded with a silver felt-tip pen or a simple pencil. I think it turned out great, write your opinion in the comments.

Snails are one of the most interesting insects. At the same time, absolutely everyone can understand how to draw a snail, because, in essence, there is absolutely nothing complicated about it. To clearly explain how to draw a snail to a child, it is worth showing him the insect itself or photographs in which it is depicted. This will help the baby remember the structural features of the snail.
Before you draw a snail with a pencil step by step, you need to prepare:
1). Black handle;
2). Pencil;
3). Eraser;
4). Multi-colored pencils;
5). A piece of paper.

After all the stationery that is listed a little above has been prepared, you can move on to figuring out how to draw a snail:
1. Schematically draw the snail’s body and the outlines of its house;
2. Draw the body of the insect. To draw a snail with a pencil, you must know the features of its structure, otherwise the drawing will turn out unrealistic. For example, it is necessary to depict a pair of antennae, as well as a couple of antennas. The edges of the snail's body should be slightly uneven;
3. Now draw the snail’s house, dividing it into separate sections;
4. Draw the surface on which the insect is crawling;
5. Trace the image with a pen. Specify some details, for example, such as the cells on her body and the stripes on the house;
6. After letting the drawing dry a little, erase the preliminary sketch with an eraser;
7. Of course, you can draw a snail step by step with the most ordinary pencil or pen. But the drawing will look more complete if you color it. For this purpose it is not at all necessary to use colored pencils, because almost any paint will work well. For example, if you use watercolors for coloring, the drawing will turn out very delicate and at the same time quite realistic. Paint over the snail's body completely with a light brown pencil. Then shade it a little with a red-brown shade. Then draw the cells on the insect’s body in black;
8. Shade the space under the snail with a dark blue shade. And then paint the surface on which this insect crawls with a light green pencil;
9. Color the snail's house. To do this, use colored pencils of various shades, ranging from brown and gray color range, and ending with green, blue and purple tones.
Now the snail drawing is completely ready! Having learned to draw this insect, you can teach your child this too!

Option one

Snails always attract children! Of course, because they, like turtles, carry their home on their backs. You can draw a snail in different ways. The easiest way to draw it is from the side, but it is much more interesting if you depict the snail from the front.

We'll start with the head. The snail's head will consist of two parts. The upper part is the area of ​​the eyes and nose, and the lower part is the cheeks and mouth. Draw a rounded head and two cheeks below.

Draw a chin at the bottom.

Draw a beautiful smiling mouth.

Now one of the most important parts is the eyes!

Between the eyes we draw an arc - a nose.

We draw antennae above the head - just curved arcs and circles at the ends.

Let's draw the shape of the shell. To the left of the head we draw a curved arc and lower it down, at the bottom we move it slightly to the left and return to the side of the head.

Now we will draw the body and legs of our snail.

All that remains is to draw a spiral on the shell.

Now you can start coloring. You can make a beautiful multi-colored shell, use your imagination!

Option two

You'll start by drawing a perfect circle onto the shape of his snail shell. Then draw two small circles for the eyes. You will add two straight lines and then the face shape will be drawn in next. You will finish this step by stretching out the slethery part of his body from the one shown in the picture.
