How to Draw a Cute Platypus - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Begin your platypus with its bill. This can be done by drawing a wavy rectangle with a dot in the center.
Step 2: Next, draw the head, body, and tail by drawing a curvy line from the top of the bill, back and down, before coming back up and meeting the bottom of the bill.
Step 3: Now draw a large, semi-shaded circle for the eye at the top, just behind the bill.
Step 4: Finally, draw the feet. On the closer side, draw two star shapes with lines between the points for webbing. At the far side on the bottom, draw a semi-circle with a few lines through it for the other rear foot.
