Learn how to draw a colorful macaw sitting on a tree branch holding a nut in its paw with this fun and simple drawing tutorial perfect for 8-year-old kids.
Hi there! Let's learn how to draw a macaw sitting on a tree branch, holding a nut in its paw. Follow these easy steps and have fun drawing!
Start by drawing a long, slightly curved horizontal line for the tree branch. Then, add another curved line below it to show the thickness of the branch. You can add some small bumps or lines to make the branch look rough.
On top of the branch, draw a large oval shape slanting a bit to the side—that’s the macaw’s body.
At the top front of the oval, draw a smaller circle or oval for the head. Connect the head and body smoothly with two curved lines for the neck.
From the front of the head, draw a strong curved triangle for the beak. Make the tip pointed and add a small curve inside to show the separation between the upper and lower parts of the beak.
Inside the head, draw a small circle for the eye. You can add a tiny black circle inside it for the pupil and leave a little white spot to make the eye look shiny.
On the side of the body, draw a big wing shape that looks like a large curved triangle with rounded edges. Add some curved lines inside the wing to show feathers.
From the bottom of the body, draw several long, narrow shapes slanting downwards. These are the tail feathers.
Draw two legs sitting on the branch. The legs are like thick sticks with three toes gripping the branch.
On one paw, draw the macaw holding a small round nut. The nut can be a small oval or circle in the paw. Make sure the toes curve around the nut to show it’s holding it securely.
Add some texture to the feathers by drawing small curved lines on the body and wings. You can also add bark texture on the tree branch with small short lines.
Macaws are colorful birds! Color your macaw bright red, blue, yellow, or green. Color the beak gray or black, the nut brown, and the tree branch brown with some green leaves if you like.
Great job! You've drawn a macaw sitting on a tree branch holding a nut. Keep practicing to get even better!
