Learn how to draw an alligator that gives a nod to all his complex shapes, without actually having to draw each and every one of them.

After you draw your alligator, you can choose what kind of environment to put him in. He’s one of those creatures that is happy both in and out of the water, so the choice is up to you. Go with nature, or even something entirely different. Either way, this simple view with a slightly curved tail will always fill your paper in an eye pleasing way.
