How to Draw a Realistic Snail - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Let's start by drawing the body. Draw an irregular diagonal rectangle with wiggly sides, make sure its narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. Now add several wiggly lines parallel to the sides on the body.
Step 2: Next, we draw the lower tentacles which are two antenna-like long apendages arising from the right top sode of the snail's head. Draw smal circles at the ends of the tentacles.
Step 3: Now let's draw the eyes. Draw two longer tentacles with circles on the end behind the lower tentacles. Make sure all tentacles face way from each other.
Step 4: Let's draw the shell now. Draw a large semi-circle at the back of the body on the left side. Make it as big as the body itself. Now Draw curved diagonal lines on the shell for effect.
