Let`s learn how to draw a Platipus.

The platypus ( Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a waterfowl mammal monotremes living in Australia. This animal lays eggs,but feeds cubs with milk. He looked like a mole or a beaver, and it has a wide large beak on his face. However, let us describe the appearance of the platypus in the course of drawing.
