Method 2 of 5: Cartoon Turkey Chicken (Intermediate Level)
Step 1. Draw a circle
Step 2. Sketch the small circle on the right side of the big circle
Connect the small circle to the big one using two curved lines to make it look like the head, neck, and body. Add two curved lines that make an acute angle on the head for the beak.
Step 3. Sketch the two angular lines attached to the body
Draw a triangle at the end of each line for the turkey leg.
Step 4. Draw a fan-like structure on the back of the turkey
Step 5. Draw the eyes using small circles
Add a curved line for the eyebrows. Draw the mouth and dots for the nostrils.
Step 6. Draw the neck and the flaps using a curved line running from the beak to the neck
Step 7. Draw the wings using a large feathered shape with three curved lines for the feathers
Step 8. Using the outline, sketch the body of the turkey and add the legs
Sketch some curved lines that form the collar just below the neck for a feather design.
Step 9. Draw the legs
Turkey feet have three claws on the front and small claws on the back.
Step 10. Two-layer sketch containing a number of curved lines for the fan-like tail of the turkey
Make the second layer bigger and more detailed than the first.

Step 3. Draw lines for the outline of the legs roughly and add a triangle at each end for the legs
Step 4. Draw a curved line on the left side of the turkey and a fan-like structure for the tail to attach to the curved line
Step 5. Draw the eyes and define the shape of the beak
Draw the net and neck hair using curved doodles.
