Drawing a cheerful woodpecker in 8 simple steps

Birds
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a cool woodpecker sitting against a tree trunk. Woodpeckers are super good climbers and can hammer very hard with their beaks. Grab your pencil and eraser, and let's get started together!
1
Basic shapes of a woodpecker: a circle, an oval, and a vertical line for the tree.
Draw a small circle for the head and a larger oval for the body, with a straight line for the tree.
2
The neck lines connect the head and the body of the woodpecker on the tree trunk.
Connect the head to the body with two short lines for the neck and sketch a guide line for the tail.
3
Guide lines for the beak, wings, and legs of the bird.
Draw a triangular shape for the beak and place small marks where the wings and legs should go.
4
The beak and the wing of the woodpecker take more shape.
Make the beak sturdier and give the wing on the back a nice round shape.
5
Drawing of a woodpecker with an eye and a sharp tail against the tree.
Draw a small round eye in the head and give the tail a pointed shape at the bottom.
6
Detail of the legs and claws of the woodpecker on the trunk.
Draw the legs with small claws so the woodpecker can hold onto the tree trunk properly.
7
Details of feathers on the wings and texture on the tree trunk.
Add small lines in the wings for the feathers and draw some ridges on the tree trunk.
8
The finished drawing of a woodpecker on a tree, ready to be colored.
Make the outer lines darker and carefully erase all the guide lines you no longer need.
