How to draw Valentine penguins step by step
How to Draw Valentine Penguins · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Two egg bodies
Draw two tall egg shapes side by side, with round tops and flat bottoms. Let the two bodies lean in so they touch in the middle, and add a tiny bump on each outer side where a flipper will go.
Step 2: Round tummies
Inside each body, draw a smaller oval low down for the tummy. Leave a little space between the tummy and the edge of the body.
Step 3: Little flat feet
At the bottom of each penguin, draw two small ovals side by side for feet. Tuck them just under the body so the penguin looks like it is standing.
Step 4: Flippers holding hands
On the outer side of each penguin, draw a long curved line that hangs down like a flipper. Between the two bodies in the middle, draw a tiny connecting shape so the penguins look like they are holding hands.
Step 5: Faces
Near the top of each penguin, draw two small dots for eyes. Draw a little rounded beak between the eyes and just below them.
Step 6: A heart above
Draw a heart floating above the penguins. Start with two bumps side by side at the top, then curve the lines down to meet in a point.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Valentine penguins
- Draw the two bodies at the same height and let them touch in the middle, so the held flippers have a place to connect.
- The joined hands are the trickiest part. Draw just one tiny shape between the bodies instead of two separate hands.
- Make the heart last and draw one bump at a time. If the sides look uneven, take your time on the point at the bottom so both curves meet there.
