Turkeys are large birds native to America. Turkey was first domesticated in Mexico around 800 BC. e., and since then it is grown for meat and feathers. In 1519, this bird was introduced to Spain, and after a few years, turkeys spread throughout Europe. Domesticated turkeys are now found around the world, but smaller wild birds can still be seen in their native habitat. If you decide to draw this unusual bird and do not know where to start, then use the step-by-step instructions in the article.
Materials
All you need to draw a turkey is a pencil, eraser and paper. You can also take multi-colored pencils or paints for coloring the picture. You may also need images with phased drawing of a turkey.
Easy way to draw a turkey with a pencil
You can draw a turkey in different ways, but you should start with the simplest ones. Here's how to easily draw a turkey in stages:
- Start by drawing a small circle and a large oval. A circle will form the head of a turkey, and an oval will form a wing.
- Connect the head and the wing using two curved lines. This way you get the neck and body of the turkey.
- Add feathers. To do this, draw some wavy lines across the wing.
- Draw a beak using curved lines that form a rounded triangle. Add a small circle to represent the eye, and inside it is another circle, a smaller one. Shade the smaller circle.
- Erase excess lines from beak and wing.
- Draw a fleshy outgrowth around the beak of the turkey, depicting an irregular shape in an irregular line. Then draw the paws, drawing two curved parallel lines from the body. Then use a series of curved U-shaped lines to depict your fingers.
- Erase excess lines from the paws.
- Draw a fan-shaped tail of a turkey. It is a long line consisting of small arches connected to each other.
- Add details to the tail. Draw a straight line from the base of the tail to each of the bottom points along the wavy line, drawing individual feathers.
- Color your turkey. They are usually brown, but can be gray, orange and even blue or green. Some turkeys are completely white.
Funny turkey
To portray a cute and funny turkey, first draw an inverted letter U. This will be the head of the bird. Under the head, draw a semicircle that will become the body of your turkey.
You should have a beautiful pear-shaped figure. The next step is to draw the eyes in the form of circles and a beak with a growth that resemble drops of different sizes in shape.
On the body, add two semicircles to depict folded wings.
Next, to draw a turkey, depict gorgeous tail feathers. Start by drawing two curved lines to the left and right. Connect their ends with several arches. Lower the lines from the bottom to the body of the turkey. Next, draw another arch under the existing ones to add a little detail to the tail feathers. Then add another row of arches.
At the end, draw the legs of the bird and color the finished drawing.
