Drawing an Albatross: Step-by-Step Drawing Lesson

Birds
Hi young artist! Today we are going to draw an albatross, a bird that is super good at soaring over the vast ocean. With a few simple shapes, you can conjure this bird onto your paper. Grab your pencil and let's get started together!
1
Basic shapes of an albatross with a circle and a large oval.
Draw a small circle for the head and a large horizontal oval for the bird's body.
2
Guide lines for the neck and the tail of the albatross.
Connect the head to the body by drawing two curved lines for the neck.
3
Lines for the beak and the position of the legs.
Place a long straight line from the head for the beak and determine where the legs will go.
4
Rough shapes of the wings and the beak of the bird.
Now draw the large shapes for the long wings and make the beak a bit thicker.
5
Details of the legs and the contours of the wings.
Finish the legs with small webbed feet and give the wings their true shape.
6
The eye and the tail feathers of the albatross drawn.
Draw a small round eye in the head and give the tail a nice point.
7
Details of the feathers on the wings of the bird.
Draw small strokes on the wings to make the bird's feathers visible.
8
The completed drawing of an albatross without guide lines.
Make the outer lines darker, erase the guide lines, and draw a ground surface.
