Let's show how creative you are :- Drawing - Crocodile

Hi wonderful steemians in this beautiful community and greetings to you all. I hope you all had a nice day. Today I am going to participate in a contest and I am here to notify my entry in this community. The aim of this contest is to draw a crocodile and I'm going to show you all the steps I took to accomplish that.

Before I begin I would like to invite @wizzyboy3, @entity and @glorious to this contest.

So let's begin
Here are the materials I used in making this artwork
1. A sheet of paper
2. A pencil
3. An eraser

That was all I used

Step 1

Firstly I began to draw it's head. I drew it's eyes, jaw, mouth and sharp teeth. After drawing it's head it looked like this 👇

Step 2

After the drawing of the head, I had to give attention to it's legs in front so I drew it and it turned out like this 👇

Step 3

After drawing it's front legs I decided to draw it's stomach. So I just made a flat curve under the crocodile I've drawn. After drawing it's stomach I began drawing it's hind leg. As you can see below 👇

Step 4

After drawing it's hind leg, I chose to make some scales on it. Then I drew it's tail and made little scales on it. So this was my final result of my artwork 👇
