Steps For Drawing A Snail

Step 1

The first step to drawing a snail is pretty simple. All you need to do is draw a spiral like this.

Step 2

Continue drawing the spiral until you reach a shape that looks like this. Join the last line of the spiral to the very first line of the spiral. This will be the shell of the snail.

Step 3

Now draw two lines that extend out from the shell of the snail to create the body and neck.

Step 4

Then extend the top line of the neck to create the tentacles and eye of the snail.

Step 5

Now draw the other tentacle and eye of the snail as well as the other tentacle.

Once you do this, it's time for you to shade your drawing in. You can use a darker shade of brown of the shell and a lighter shade of brown for the body.

And your snail drawing is fully complete.
