Hello little artist! Today, we're going to draw a pretty cockatoo bird. Cockatoos have a special feather on their heads called a crest that looks like a fluffy crown!
Let's start step by step together:
- Draw the Head Shape: Begin by drawing a gentle oval shape for the cockatoo's head near the edge of your paper or page. This way, it looks like the cockatoo is looking right at you from the side!
- Add the Beak: At the front of the oval, draw a curved triangle shape to make the bird's beak. Make it a little pointy but smooth.
- Draw the Crest: On top of the head, draw a line curving upwards, then make several long, pointy feathers sticking up like a crown. You can make them different sizes so it looks very fluffy and beautiful.
- Draw the Eye: Just below the crest, draw a big round circle for the eye, and inside it, a smaller black circle for the pupil. Add a tiny white circle for the sparkle!
- Add the Neck and Shoulder: Draw a gentle line curving down from the head to show where the neck and shoulder are.
- Draw the Branch: Under the neck, draw a thick, straight branch for the cockatoo to sit on. Add some lines on it to show the bark.
- Color your Cockatoo: Cockatoos are usually white with yellow or pink crests. Use your favorite colors to make your bird look lively and beautiful!
Great job! You just drew a cockatoo showing off its cool crest right up close. Keep practicing, and soon you'll draw even more birds and animals.
