Drawing a cheerful pelican step-by-step

Birds
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a pelican, that funny bird with that enormous beak. Grab your pencil and paper, because we're going to get started together. It's not difficult at all if we start with simple shapes. Are you joining in?
1
Drawing of a small circle and a large oval as a base for the pelican.
Draw a small circle for the head and a large horizontal oval for the pelican's body.
2
Guide lines for the neck and a long straight line for the bird's beak.
Connect the head and the body with two curved lines for the neck and draw a long line for the beak.
3
Lines shaping the neck and a short diagonal line for the tail.
Draw a guide line for the tail and make the neck slightly wider with smooth lines.
4
Guide lines for the eye and the thin legs under the body.
Draw a small dash for the eye and draw two straight lines downwards for the legs.
5
The legs take shape and the top of the beak is drawn.
Make the legs thicker and draw the top of the large, famous pelican beak.
6
The characteristic beak pouch and the back of the pelican become visible.
Draw the bottom of the beak as a large pouch and add the first lines for the wing and tail.
7
Details of the eye and the large feet with webbing.
Give the bird a small round eye and draw the large webbed feet at the bottom of the legs.
8
Drawing of the feathers on the wing and the tail of the pelican.
Draw the feathers on the wings and the tail with small curves and dashes.
