How to draw a penguin

A penguin is one big egg with a face on it. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your penguin to life.

Ages 6–13Paper + pencilAbout 8 minutes

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a penguin

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with one big egg

Draw one tall egg for the whole penguin — head and body together, no neck.

2

Draw the white tummy

A big oval inside the egg, starting under the face and going almost to the bottom.

3

Give it a face

Two dot eyes near the top, then a little diamond beak between them and the tummy, with one line across it.

4

Two flippers

One flipper down at the side, and one up in the air to wave.

5

Two webbed feet

A wide flat foot on each side of the bottom, like two little fans.

6

Feathers and stripes

Three little feathers sticking up on top, a line on each foot, and a short stripe from each shoulder. Now this penguin is yours.

Now draw a penguin somewhere penguins never go.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper penguin into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little flipper wave below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
