How to Draw an Easy Cartoon Turkey

1. Begin the easy cartoon turkey outline by drawing the character's eyes. For each eye, draw a curved line then enclose a partial oval above it. Shade an oval inside each eye.

2. Draw a short line above each eye to indicate the eyebrows. Then, draw a teardrop shape between them. This is the turkey's wattle, a fleshy appendage. Use curved lines to enclose the beak alongside it.

3. Draw three short lines, each doubled back on themselves, above the face. This forms a cute tuft of feathers.

Then, use long curved lines for the sides of the head. Extend two curved lines below it and connect them with a series of curved lines, forming the neck.

4. Outline the turkey's body and wing with overlapping curved lines.

5. Detail the wing feathers with curved lines. Then, use two curved lines to outline the upper leg - the drumstick.

6. Draw a curved line between the wing and drumstick, completing the outline of the body.

Enclose the bottom of the leg with a series of curved lines. Then, use overlapping curved lines to draw the turkey's foot.

7. Draw another leg, using a series of curved lines for the drumstick and overlapping lines for the toes. From the back of the body, extend a long line. This will become the turkey's tail.

8. Draw curved lines in a scalloped pattern from the tip of the tail to the head. Then draw straight lines from the turkey's body to the edges of the fan-shaped tail.

9. Band the tail with two curved lines. Draw curved lines in series across the bird's chest to give it a feathery texture.

Your easy cartoon turkey outline is now complete. Color your cute character. Most turkeys are brown with a white band on their tails and a red wattle. But some have solid white feathers!
