Drawing of a Puffin
A great way to learn how to draw a Puffin is to get some advice on those amazing beaks. Their penguin-like bodies are kind of simple, but the beaks might take a little extra time to do justice! In real life, the bright colors all kind of blend into each other, so simplifying the coloring into little sections instead, really helps.
Did you know that a Puffin’s beak only gets this colorful during the warmer months of summer? After a puffin finds the perfect match during their mating season, its beak will fade to a duller color for the winter months.
Although puffins are not classed as an endangered species, populations in some places are getting smaller. The main threats are overfishing and pollution, mostly due to oil spills. Not only does the oil make these beautiful birds sick, it destroys their waterproof feathers, which are needed for their survival.
