Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Articuno Pokémon
How to Draw a Great Looking Articuno for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

2. Extend a pair of long, curved lines outward from just below the head. Allow the lines to meet in a point, forming the top edge of the wing. Then, extend three connected, curved lines from the wingtip to form an open rectangular shape. This is the bird’s first flight feather. Next, continue to draw series of three curved lines connected in a rectangular pattern to attach the wingtip to the body. Notice that the feathers become smaller as they near the body.
