Snails have unique features that make them fun and easy to draw. For example, their spiral shells and tentacles. Drawing a snail can be a great activity for kids to learn about shapes, lines, and textures.
You can draw a snail very easily in just a few steps. The step by step guide below is only recommendation. Use your imagination to make it unique.
To draw a snail, start with the shell. A snail’s shell is the most recognizable feature, and it’s what sets them apart from other animals. To draw the shell, start by drawing a curved line that slopes downward to the right. Then, draw another curved line that mirrors the first one, creating the shell’s shape. Kids can get creative and add details to the shell by drawing spiral lines inside it.
Next, draw the snail’s body. Draw a small oval shape at the bottom of the shell and a small curve at the top of the oval for the snail’s head. Then, draw two small circles for the snail’s eyes. To complete the snail’s head, draw two long, thin lines on either side of the head and add a small circle at the end of each line for the tentacles.
Finally, add some texture and color to the drawing. Draw curved lines on the shell to indicate growth rings and add some shading to create depth. Snails come in a variety of colors, so kids can choose their own color palette. They can add stripes or spots to their snail to make it more unique.
