Here are quick, easy steps to draw a simple cartoon turkey you can follow right away. Idea 1: Basic turkey shape (easy)

• Draw a large oval for the body.
• On the top-left of the oval, add a small circle for the head.
• Connect head to body with a short neck line.
• Draw a beak: a small triangle sticking out from the head.
• Add a tiny eye: a small dot or circle above the beak.
• Create the wattle under the beak with a small rounded shape.
• Draw a few curved lines at the back of the body for tail feathers.
• Add two small legs beneath the body: each leg is a short line with three tiny toes.
• Optional: add shading or a few feather lines on the wings.

Idea 2: More detailed, still simple

• Start with a rounded pear shape for the body.
• Add a small circle on the upper front for the head, connected with a short neck.
• Beak as a tiny triangle; add a small wattle under it.
• Eye as a dot with a tiny highlight.
• Wings: draw a curved line on the side of the body with a couple of feather shapes.
• Tail: draw a fan of several curved lines extending from the back, and connect the ends with a rounded line to form the tail feathers.
• Feet: two short legs with three toes each.
• Optional: add texture with short curved lines on the body to suggest feathers.

Color suggestions (optional)

• Body: warm brown or tan.
• Tail feathers: mix of browns, oranges, and yellows.
• Beak: orange or yellow; wattle red.
• Feet: orange or yellow.

Tips to improve

• Use simple shapes first (circles/ovals), then refine.
• Keep lines light while you plan; darken final outlines.
• If you’re drawing with kids, emphasize the big tail feathers as the fun feature.
