🦃 How to Draw a Turkey – Step by Step

Step 1: Draw the Turkey’s Body

1️⃣ Start by drawing a big oval for the turkey’s body.

2️⃣ Above the body, draw a smaller circle for the turkey’s head.

3️⃣ Connect the head and body with curved lines to form the neck.

Step 2: Add the Head and Face

1️⃣ Draw two big circles for the eyes and add a tiny dot inside each for shine. ✨

2️⃣ Below the eyes, draw a small triangle for the beak.

3️⃣ Add the wattle (the red, droopy part near the beak) by drawing a curved shape hanging down.

Step 3: Sketch the Feathers

1️⃣ Sketch the wings on both sides of the turkey.

2️⃣ Behind the body, draw several long, curved lines to make the turkey’s fan-like tail feathers. Add smaller feathers on the wings by drawing wavy lines inside the body.

3️⃣ You can mix different sizes and shapes to make the feathers look fun!

Step 4: Draw the Legs and Feet

1️⃣ Draw two thin legs coming from the bottom of the body.

2️⃣ At the end of each leg, sketch three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward. Make sure to add small claws at the end of each toe for detail!

3️⃣ Add turkey-specific details and complete the drawing.

Step 5: Outline and Color Your Turkey

1️⃣ Finish the details and go over your drawing with a black marker to make the lines bold.

2️⃣ Color the turkey’s body brown and the feathers in shades of red, orange, and yellow! 🦃🍂

3️⃣ Use red for the wattle and yellow or orange for the beak and feet.

And that’s it! You now know how to draw a turkey step by step! 🎉
