How to Draw an Alligator

A drawing of an Alligator, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.
Finished drawing of an Alligator

Learning how to draw an alligator that looks like the real life versions, can be a little tricky. They don’t exactly have the average body shape that other four legged animals have. They are made of lots of long and odd reptile shapes, and even an experienced artist would have trouble taking all of them on. Here are two fun options instead – one a simplified version that still looks fairly realistic, and one that is obviously a cartoon version. Both are fun options for those looking to learn more about drawing alligators.
