Step 1:
Draw an inverted U with curvy lines, keeping one side a bit longer than he other one. Tray to make it deep and thin.
Step 2:
Add 4 more U shaped structures below the previous structure and overlap each with one another. You can try to resemble the toes of your feet while adding these 4 U shapes. Make the shapes wavy and uneven up to certain limits.
Step 3:
Add another U to the left arm of the inverted structure, and join the top of the limbs by stretching the ends a bit to the right before joining them. It looks like a tiny banana outline once you have perfected it. Next, add two wavy lines enclosing each other on the other hand of the inverted U, resembling a semicircle joined to a wave.
Step 4:
Draw two oval shapes on the outlines made in the previous step, adding a dot inside each shape. This makes it look like the eye of the Turkey. Add another curved line with a corner poking out from it, which forms the Turkey’s jaw.
Draw a rounded shape with waves and add a line in the middle to create the tongue of a smiling Turkey animation. Add more curvy lines on the top to resemble eyebrows. This completes the basic outlining of the Turkey’s head.
Step 5:
Add a curvy line along the structure of the head, followed by an inverted W like shape. Try to keep the lines wavy with circular ends for a better result.
Step 6:
Join the lines from the above step with a long curve that goes up to the middle of the Turkey’s body outline. Add a Tulip like structure in an inverted angle beside this line.
Step 7:
Make a half circle using the previous curvy line as its part to draw the Turkey’s body. Add smaller curves below, alongside more U shapes in different angles, to form the legs of the Turkey. Always use the pencil softly on your sheet in case you need to erase any mistakes without leaving pencil traces.
Step 8:
Then, you need to draw two lines from the first leg. You can use a ruler to make a straight line and later, draw a wavy line mapping through the straight ones. Add curvy structures to make the leg, followed by drawing some wavy triangles to represent the claw nails of the Turkey.
Step 9:
Repeat the same on the second leg and add more lines to make details.
Step 10:
Draw more wavy U shapes below the previous ones, and add a flower like structure on the right to depict the Turkey’s wings.
Step 11:
Make a cartoony hand using some more curvy lines and u shapes, placing them accordingly by using the above picture as a reference. Once you have followed the steps clearly, your Turkey arms are formed.
Step 12:
Add another inclined U shape over the left outline to structure the bird’s tail.
Step 13:
Repeat the previous step but try to form a different sized U to make the drawing of the tail feathers look more realistic.
Step 14:
Add more U shapes unless you form a complete Turkey tail with 5 feather lines.
Step 15:
Draw more curvy lines on the tail to add further details in it.
Step 16:
More U shapes need to be drawn over the body of the bird to resemble animated feathers. With this step, your Turkey is ready in outlines and only needs colors to complete the look.
Step 17:
Color the drawing using shades of brown, yellow, red, beige and white. Place them in their respective places, taking guidance from this picture and you shall be successfully able to visualize a Turkey in your completed drawing.
