How to draw an Armadillo tutorial

Let`s learn how to draw an Armadillo.There are several species of armadillos. Some of them are huge, others small – but all these exotic creatures live far away, somewhere I’ve never been.

I’ve never sailed the Amazon,
I’ve never reached Brazil.

And while I haven’t seen them, I’m not going to tell you a lot about the biology of these animals. I just really like fairy tales about armadillos. For example, the tale “The Beginning of the Armadilloes” tells us about the three-banded Armadillo – he is able to curl into a ball. Let`s learn how to draw this legendary Armadillo.

I read a sad tale about that Armadillo. He really loved music and wanted it to sound always. And then the man suggested that Armadillo, that he gave his armour to make the guitar. And he sacrificed his life for the sake of art.

But as for me -I love animals alive and I don`t want such art.
