Drawing a kingfisher in 8 steps

Birds
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a kingfisher, one of the most beautiful birds found near the water. With its long beak and short tail, it looks very cool. Follow the steps and before you know it, there will be a kingfisher on your paper!
1
Draw a circle and an oval for the base of the kingfisher on a branch.
Draw a small circle for the head and a larger oval below it for the body. Also draw a slanted line for the bird to sit on.
2
Connect the head and the body of the kingfisher with guide lines for the neck.
Connect the head and the body with two short lines for the neck and draw a small line for the tail.
3
Drawing guide lines for the beak and the legs of the bird.
Now make small lines at the bottom of the body where the legs and beak will eventually go.
4
Drawing a long beak and the shape of a wing on the kingfisher.
Draw a large, sharp triangle for the beak and give the wing a nice round shape on the back.
5
Shaping the tail and drawing an eye in the circle of the head.
Make the tail a bit wider and draw a small round eye in the head.
6
Drawing legs on the branch and a crest on the head of the kingfisher.
Draw the legs holding onto the branch and add a small crest on the back of the head.
7
Adding details to the wings and the beak of the kingfisher.
Now draw the feathers on the wing and finish the beak with a line in the middle.
8
The completed drawing of a kingfisher with clean lines.
Erase the guide lines and trace the outer lines extra thick for a beautiful result.
