How To Draw A Cobra
Step: 1
Start by drawing the cobra’s eyes and nose. Make two small circles for the eyes with pupils looking forward. Below the eyes, draw three short horizontal lines for the nose and nostrils.
Step: 2
Next, draw the shape of the cobra’s head. Start from the top of the eyes, curve the line outward and then downward to form the cobra’s hood. It should look like the top part of a heart, giving the head a broad, menacing appearance.
Step: 3
Extend the outline from the previous step to form the cobra’s body. Draw curved, parallel lines from the head down the length of the body. These lines will create the segmented look of the cobra’s underbelly.
Step: 4
Now, draw the cobra’s tail. Extend the body line downward, making it thinner and curving it to form the tail. The tail should be slightly coiled to show the cobra is ready to strike.
Step: 5
Add another coil to the cobra’s tail to refine its shape. Draw a second curve that slightly overlaps with the first, creating a more three-dimensional and realistic look.
Step: 6
Add more detail to the cobra’s hood by drawing small, curved lines within it. These lines should be irregular and follow the hood’s natural curve to represent the distinctive pattern found on a cobra’s hood.
Step: 7
Finally, color your cobra. Use dark, earthy tones like brown and black for the body, and add lighter, vibrant colors like yellow for the underbelly and hood patterns. Make the eyes a striking color, such as red or orange, to give it an intimidating look.
