Step 1

To start drawing Magpie, draw the pointed beak by creating two small triangles with a bit of space in the bottom right. This bird is considered a lucky charm in China and Korea.

Step 2

Draw the head by creating a curved shape from the beak and add another small curve forming the bottom of the beak.

Step 3

Add eyes by drawing a small circle for the eyes and another small inner circle for the pupils.

Step 4

To draw the body, draw a line down the back. For the front, also make a smooth curve going down, but then bring it in to close the bottom. Magpies can grow to only 50 cm long!

Step 5

To draw the wings, create small curves inside the body with rounded wing tips. Add another small curve at the base of the wing for the feather pattern.

Step 6

Plus my feet draw two straight lines down an angle. Add some small pointed toes at the bottom.

Step 7

Add another leg right behind the front. Remember those long pointed claws!

Step 8

Add two downward lines at an angle for the tail with a rounded tip. Color your Magpie black and white!
