That\u2019s perfect when you\u2019re learning how to draw and create basic outlines, since the light trace is easy to erase, but also easy to build.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An HB pencil:<\/strong>\u202fThe golden mean of pencils, an HB lead is medium hard, meaning it\u2019s neither too hard nor too soft. You can use it when making the outline darker and softly shading your penguin drawing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A B pencil:<\/strong> Soft lead is ideal for shading since it creates dark grey, almost black hues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A kneaded eraser:<\/strong>\u202fThis type of eraser is soft, so you can tweak its shape depending on what you want to erase. You can also use it to highlight parts of your sketch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightly textured sketch paper:<\/strong>\u202fLast but not least, lightly textured paper has a smooth surface, so it\u2019s easier to draw on it and erase unwanted lines from its surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just recommendations \u2014\u202fyou can use whatever pencil and paper you\u2019re most comfortable with!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mceNonEditable cta-custom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/biowars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow us on Instagram for more drawing tips and the latest BIOWARS updates!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How To Draw A Penguin From The Front In 8 Steps<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s kick this guide off with the steps on how to draw a penguin from the front.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Draw The Base<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tool:<\/strong> H pencil<\/p>\n<p>The best way to learn how to draw a penguin is to <strong>use geometrical shapes to form its body<\/strong>, sketching one body part at a time.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll then connect the parts into one big, symmetrical Emperor Penguin!<\/p>\n<p>For starters, we\u2019ll create the foundation for the penguin\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, let\u2019s draw three circles \u2014\u202fthe top one needs to be the smallest, the circle in the middle should be about four times larger than the top circle, and the third one needs to be the largest of the three.<\/p>\n<p>Think of drawing these circles <strong>as if you were drawing a snowman!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18629\" style=\"width: 854px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18629\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18629\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base.jpg\" alt=\"Three circles of different sizes \u2014 the first is the smallest while the third is the largest of the three. \u200b\" width=\"844\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base.jpg 844w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base-675x1024.jpg 675w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base-768x1165.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base-440x667.jpg 440w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/penguin-drawing-front-base-635x963.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The foundation for the penguin\u2019s body are three circles.\u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>2.
