Step-by-Step Easy Parrot Tutorial
Start by drawing a curved line for the top of the head that sweeps down to form the back of the neck.
Draw a large curved hook shape attached to the front of the face for the sharp top beak, and close the head outline.
Draw a smaller curved triangle for the bottom beak, and drop a long line straight down for the front of the chest.
Draw a long sweeping teardrop curve on the side of the body for the large folded wing.
Draw a curved line connecting the chest to the wing for the belly, and add a long straight tail feather dropping down from the back.
Draw two short legs with sharp claws grabbing onto two horizontal straight lines for a tree branch.
Draw rows of scalloped curved lines on the wing to create layers of beautiful feathers.
Draw a dot eye inside a circle, and add a curved line separating the beak from the white face patch.
Color your parrot bright tropical red with blue and yellow wing feathers just like a real Macaw!
Layered Feathers: Scalloped, overlapping curves on the wing read as feathers far better than straight lines.
Hooked Beak: Keep the top beak curve nice and sharp — that hook shape is what makes it unmistakably a parrot.
