Learn how to draw a peacock by turning many of this bird’s amazing details into a few simple and easy shapes to draw. Then have fun coloring away!
Peacocks are among the most fascinating and beautiful creatures on earth, but there are so many things that we fail to realize about them. With a fairly large wingspan around 4.9 feet and its large feathers, the peacock is one of the largest flying birds on earth. The Indian peacock is thought to be instinct now in Bangladesh, although it still remains popular around areas of Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka.
To draw a peacock with a realistic look, try rounding out the feathers to look more like petals, and keep the head sleek with a few sprigs on his crown. Their feathers are so colorful, students can choose to fill theirs pretty much any way they want!
Aside from using only crayons, a fun coloring option is to use metallic markers to highlight some details as a final touch. The metallic markers really have a similar sheen to that real peacock feathers have.
