How to draw an axolotl with a lollipop step by step
How to Draw an Axolotl with a Lollipop · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Bottom of the head
Draw a gently curved line like a shallow smile for the bottom of the head. Near the right end, flick the line up into a little curl.
Step 2: The body
Start at the right end of the head line and draw a curve down and around to make the side of the body. Add a flat bottom with two small rounded feet, then draw a short line down on the left for the other side of the body.
Step 3: Big top frills
Draw two big, bumpy frills that stick out from the top of the head like wings. Connect them with a gentle curve across the top of the head, then add a few bumps along each outer edge.
Step 4: Small side frills
On the right side of the face, draw a zigzag of two or three little spikes. On the left side, draw a short curved line with two tiny spikes, like a small comb.
Step 5: Eyes and smile
Draw two small filled-in ovals for eyes, wide apart, and leave a tiny white dot in each. Between them, draw a little wavy smile like a small letter w.
Step 6: The lollipop
On the left, draw a big circle for the candy. Add a short, wiggly stick hanging down from the bottom of the circle.
Step 7: Arm, hand and tail
Draw a short curved line from the candy to the stick for the hand holding it, then a small hook shape on the belly for the arm. Finish with a long curved tail that starts at the bottom right of the body and swings up and out.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing an axolotl with a lollipop
- Start with the curved head line and the rounded body, and draw them lightly. The frills and lollipop are easier to place once those are down.
- The big frills are the trickiest part. Draw one smooth curve up and over, then add the bumps along the edge one at a time.
- Draw the lollipop circle so it overlaps the side of the face a little. That makes it look like the axolotl is really holding it.

Axolotls can grow back lost body parts, including legs and tails. Their feathery frills are outside gills that help them breathe underwater.
