In eight simple steps, you will draw a robin using round shapes and legs on a branch. We start with circles and finish with the most beautiful details.

Stappen

Stap 1

Draw a small circle for the head and a larger oval underneath for the body.

Stap 3

Frequently asked questions

Which colors do I need for the robin?
You mainly need brown for the back and, of course, bright red or orange for its beautiful breast.
What should I do if a circle isn't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter at all, because little birds in nature are never perfectly round either!
Can I draw the robin on something other than a branch?
Certainly, you can also draw him on a fence or in the snow.
How do I make the eye look extra nice?
Put a small white dot in the black eye, then it looks just like he is really looking at you.
