FAQs

How do I draw an American alligator?
Start with a long low body, a broad rounded snout and a thick tail that is nearly as long as the body. Add short bent legs and rows of raised scutes down the back.
How is an alligator different from a crocodile in a drawing?
Give the alligator a wide U shaped snout and hide the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. A crocodile has a narrow V shaped snout with lower teeth showing.
How do I draw alligator skin texture?
Draw rows of raised oval scutes along the back and smaller square scales on the sides. Shade each bump on one side so the texture looks raised.
What color is an American alligator?
Adults are dark olive to nearly black, with a pale belly. Hatchlings have bright yellow stripes across the body.
Where do I set an American alligator scene?
Cypress swamps, sawgrass marshes and slow rivers of the southeastern United States suit an American alligator. Moss, reeds, lily pads and herons complete the scene.
Can I animate an American alligator drawing?
Yes. Send the drawing to Image to Video and describe a small motion, such as the alligator sliding into the water.
