![]() You can also color the bottom curve of the beak. We will begin with a small blending brush and some black paint, using these to define the separating line of the beak. This is quite a big step, involving many different forms of texture creation. You can then apply a soft touch of contouring between the top feathers and the wing layer.įinally, with the same soft brush and some grey paint, add a little contouring to the edges of the webbed feet. Apply a soft contouring layer on the top and bottom areas of the neck including the head and beak. Begin with a small soft blending brush and either a dark orange or a red shade of paint. With our base color now in place, we are going to use a darker shade to add a little three-dimensionality. With a regular paintbrush and some light pink paint, evenly coat the entirety of your flamingo illustration. Now that we have our basic flamingo sketch outlined, we can begin to bring it to life with color. To complete your flamingo legs, create webbed feet on the bottom. Flamingos have knees that bend the opposite way to ours, so the legs should first extend slightly backward and then slightly forwards. Finally, we will draw the two long noodle-like legs. As we move down the body of your flamingo sketch, we can add some feather detail to the main body using a combination of short and long lines. Now that you have the shape, you can draw the face detail, including a small round eye and a fine line within the beak. You can also draw the large downward-curving beak of the flamingo. Begin with the small rounded head on the top of the neck. We will do this by drawing the legs and the head, as well as adding some feather texture to the body. In this step, we are going to create the final outline of our flamingo illustration. Step 4: Finishing the Flamingo Sketch Outline You can also add some feather details to the bottom of the body oval, creating a more realistic shape. This wing should end with some slightly jagged feathers that flow downwards. Using the main body oval as the base shape, draw a large curving wing that is a little less smooth. We are now going to add some more detail to the body of our flamingo illustration. ![]() ![]() Step 3: Add Feather Details to the Flamingo Tail This line should end slightly higher than the initial line. You can then complete the neck shape by creating the other line of the neck, beginning just below the left point of the body oval. Draw a long curving line that swoops to the left and up in an elongated “S” shape. Begin on the left side of the body, just below it. Now that we have the main body of our flamingo sketch in place, we can use it to construct the basic shape of the flamingo’s neck. Find the central point of your drawing area, and place this oval slightly above the center. This is a simple oval shape that is sloped with the left side being slightly higher. We begin this flamingo illustration by creating the basic shape of the flamingo’s body. ![]() Once you have your supplies ready and you have somewhere nice and comfortable to sit, we can begin learning how to draw a flamingo. For physical mediums like paint or coloring pencils, we suggest using a very light pencil for these outlines. We suggest that you create the initial construction outline on a separate layer that can be easily erased later. If you are a digital artist, then you can easily adapt the instructions to suit a drawing tablet. This flamingo drawing tutorial is compatible with almost every medium that you choose. We use color not only to bring the flamingo illustration to life but also to add more depth and dimension. After this, we start to add some more detailed flamingo sketch details, before we begin to add color. We begin with a simple oval, and then begin to build up the neck shape. You can see the steps of the tutorial in the collage below. In order to ensure these proportions are correct, we build up the final shape using smaller and simpler base shapes. 2.2 What Colors do You Need for a Flamingo Drawing?įlamingos can be quite tricky to draw because they have very unique proportions.2.1 How to Draw a Flamingo with Realistic Proportions?.1.11 Step 11: Finish Your Flamingo Illustration.1.9 Step 9: Create Texture in the Legs of Your Flamingo Sketch.1.8 Step 8: Create Fine Detail on the Face.1.6 Step 6: Begin Adding the Definition.1.4 Step 4: Finishing the Flamingo Sketch Outline.1.3 Step 3: Add Feather Details to the Flamingo Tail.
