16 Animals Really Easy to Draw Like a Professional Using Handprint Technique

If you love to draw, come take a look. These masterclasses are also suitable for children and you will learn how easy it is to draw animals like lions, parrots, peacocks, seahorses, sheep, or even flamingos using your hand and fingers to create their shapes. Be sure to try this technique; we are sure you will love it.

1. Lion

To create the head of a lion, rest your fist on the paper, gently lifting your fingers, index, and thumb.


2. Parrot

With your palm and fingers held closely together, you can perfectly draw the silhouette of a parrot.

3. Peacock

For a peacock, you’ll need to use both hands.

4. Seahorse

The seahorse’s head is achieved by placing your closed fist on the paper, without bending the index and thumb.

5. Sheep

The outline of a sheep is obtained by partially closing your fist against the paper.

6. Snail

To draw a snail, close your fist without including the thumb, press it onto the paper, and trace the silhouette of your hand in that position.

7. Unicorn

The unicorn’s head is created by forming a 90-degree angle between your palm and your pinkie finger.

8. Dove

To draw a dove, bring your pinkie and thumb together on one side, your middle, and index fingers on the other, and your thumb alone, forming a 90-degree angle with your middle finger.

9. Stingray

To depict a stingray, lightly close your fist against the paper and slightly lift your index finger.

10. Dragon

By touching the tips of all your fingers against your thumb, you’ll achieve an ideal dragon’s head.

11. Worm

To draw a worm in an apple, press your knuckles against the paper with your thumb extended.

12. Crocodile

To illustrate a crocodile, close your fingers, pinkie and ring finger, while keeping all others extended.

13. Flamingo

For a flamingo, place your knuckles against the paper with your thumb extended, and after tracing the silhouette of your hand in this position, rotate the paper 90 degrees to the right.

14. Dog

To draw a dog, place all your fingers on the paper, except your middle finger.

15. Giraffe

Partially close your fist, slightly raising the knuckles of your pinkie and index fingers to depict the giraffe’s head.

16. Caterpillar

With your palm open and your thumb slightly separated from the other fingers, you can create a worm on a leaf. But be careful not to outline the complete silhouette of your hand; leave a small blank space to add a bite mark to the leaf for a fun touch.
