Learn More About The Cute Axolotl Drawing

The axolotl is a unique salamander breed that spends its entire life underwater. Learn how to draw a cute axolotl with a smiling face.

This easy guide shows you how to draw axolotls with basic curves and lines. If you look at the axolotl's face, you'll see that it consists of dashes, circles and semicircles that anyone can sketch. For the body, you'll need hot dog and bean shapes, plus a couple of large triangles.

When you study the shadows, can you tell where the light source is coming from? This guide uses blocky shadows to make your drawing look cartoony yet three-dimensional. Once you're done, try coloring the blue waters around your axolotl.
