Drawing Animal 2: Snail

Hello, beginner artist 😁.

Welcome to the second beginner step-by-step tutorial of our Drawing Level 3, drawing animals. Today, we will go through several simple steps to draw this snail:

It’s amazing that we have been through Drawing Level 0 (basic shapes), Drawing Level 1 (simple fruits), Drawing Level 2 (plush toys and dolls). All practices of these drawing levels are designed to help absolute beginner artists start their art journeys. You can access them all through the Blog Navigation. It’s my pleasure if this Blog can give you the inspiration to pursue your own art journey ☺️.

Now let’s get back to this week’s drawing practice. Here is the reference photo, can you figure out the overall shapes of this snail and these mushrooms?
