Description: I know most of you would rather have me submit tutorials on cool characters from manga/anime, or video game figures that we all know and love. Sometimes there are folks that would rather have a lesson that could teach them how to create an animal species that they are fanatics about, or interested in. Today I thought I would fulfill a request that has been sitting in my request folder for about two months. The reason why I chose to do the drawing now, is because the crane I submitted did significantly well with other artists, visitors, and members. Today, you will be taught "how to draw a gator", step by step. Yes this is the same as learning to draw an alligator I just thought naming the reptile something different would be easier for folks to find. I mean come on, how many times do you think someone types in how to draw an alligator opposed to how to draw a gator. The difference is pretty significant. Sometimes people are looking for one specific thing and the way they search for it is the way they pronounce it. Folks that live way down south like in Louisiana and Florida, call alligators, gators. These beasts will always wreak havoc no matter where they go. They are even considered a good meal in some places. Anyway enjoy this lesson on "how to draw a gator". If there is another animal species you would like to see as a tutorial, just let me know. Peace out folks and have fun!
