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.
