Drawing Instructions (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Start with the Head
- Shape: The head is drawn using two triangles:
- One triangle for the main head.
- A second triangle behind it for the open mouth.
- Tips:
- Round off the corners to soften the shapes.
- Add one big tooth first, then fit others around it.
- The head is slightly turned, so draw only one eye.
Step 2: Draw the Neck
- Use two long curving lines that get wider as they approach the body.
- This shape helps show depth and makes Nessie look more rounded.
- The neck is where the cuteness lies – shape it with care.
Step 3: Draw the Body
- The body is a large hump – draw it like a large arch or half-circle.
- Add a flipper: two lines that curve together, positioned near the front of the body.
- The tail curves up behind, showing movement and balance.
Step 4: Position in Water
- Use a line to show where he is in the water – this sets the horizon.
- Add splashes:
- The top of a splash is where the water loops up and over.
- The bottom is where it loops back down.
- Draw water drops flying to show motion.
Step 5: Background & Environment
- Draw mountains or hills in the distance with sharp jagged lines.
- For water:
- Far away waves = short dashes.
- Near waves = large streaks and curves.
- This creates depth and perspective in the scene.
Style Tips & Techniques
- The monster has a friendly, cartoonish expression – large eyes, smiling mouth, and visible texture dots.
- Use shading and texture dots to give form and contrast.
