How to Draw a Cockatoo Showing Its Pretty Crest for 6-Year-Olds

Hello! Let's learn how to draw a beautiful cockatoo showing its fancy crest. Imagine the cockatoo is sitting on a branch or peeking out from the edge of the page, so we can see its pretty feathers up close.

1. **Start with the Head:** Draw a big round shape for the cockatoo's head placed near the edge of your paper.
2. **Add the Crest:** On top of the head, draw tall, curved feathers that stand up like a crown. This is the cockatoo’s pretty crest.
3. **Draw the Beak and Eye:** Make a curved beak coming out from the head and a round eye looking towards the page edge.
4. **Draw the Body:** Behind the head, sketch the body sitting on a branch stretching out of the page.
5. **Add the Branch:** Draw a simple branch under the cockatoo’s feet to show it is sitting.

Remember to use soft lines first so you can change mistakes. When you finish, color your cockatoo with white or light colors and bright yellow or orange for the crest!

Great job drawing your cockatoo with its pretty crest up close!
