How to Draw a Turkey
Here's a breakdown of how to draw a turkey, from simple shapes to more detailed renderings:
1. Basic Shapes and Construction:
- Start with basic shapes to define the body. An oval or pear-shaped form usually works well.
- Add a smaller circle for the head. Position it so that it overlaps the turkey's%20body.
- Lightly sketch the neck connecting the head and body. This will help you create the neck line.
- Add guidelines for the legs, indicating their position and general length. Keep in mind that a turkey's legs look quite a bit different than a humans legs.
2. Refining the Body and Head:
- Refine the outline of the turkey%20body to give it a more natural shape. Erase unnecessary guidelines.
- Add a beak to the head. Turkeys have a short, curved beak.
- Draw the turkey%20eye. A simple circle or oval shape will do, add a bit of shading to make it look nice.
- Add the snood (the fleshy piece that hangs over the beak) and the wattle (the fleshy piece under the chin).
3. Drawing the Feathers and Tail:
- The tail is a key feature. Start by drawing a semi-circle or fan shape as a guideline.
- Draw individual tail%20feathers, varying their size and shape for a more natural look. Overlapping the feathers will add depth.
- Add body feathers by using short, curved strokes to suggest texture. Don't draw every feather individually.
4. Adding the Legs and Feet:
- Draw the legs following your guidelines. Turkeys have strong legs with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
- Add details like claws and scales to the legs and feet.
5. Detailing and Shading:
- Add shading to give your turkey form and depth. Consider the light source and add shadows accordingly.
- Refine the details of the feathers, adding texture and variation.
- Consider adding a background to your drawing to give it context.
