Complete feather drawing in just 9 easy steps!
Youre about to find out how to draw a feather by watching this guide for kids!
It will be so fun and easy when you run with this.
Feathers come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
They can also be pretty much any color you’re able to imagine.
It can be surprisingly difficult to learn though, as getting the shame right can be quite tricky.
Lets begin the first step and see how its done!
Step 1
Draw a thin line figure with a sharp, pointed top.
This forms the hollow shaft where all the feathers are attached to.
see to it that the line is slightly curved.
This forms the feather at the very top.
After finishing this step, the topmost portion of the feather is now complete.
This creates the upper left side of the feather.
This forms the upper right side of the feather.
At this point, the upper half of the feather is now complete.
Dont worry if this feather isnt identical to the first one we drew previously.
The feathers were drawing one by one dont necessarily have to be uniform.
As a matter of fact, the more uneven they are, the more realistic the feather looks!
Step 6 Draw the Feathers Bottom Right Side
Repeat the previous step on the opposite side.
This creates another single feather on the bottom right side of the shaft.
At this point, the structure of the feather is almost done.
Only one another layer of feather and this will be complete!
Keep goingyoure almost there!
This completes the feathers on the left side of the shaft.
Again, dont worry about keeping the feathers identical.
As you might see in the illustration, the feather is gradually coming together.
Now, all its missing are some details to finally complete the feather!
Step 9 Add Details and Texture on the Feather
Draw multiple diagonal lines emerging from the shaft.
ensure to add lines on the feathers on both the left and right side.
This adds texture on the feather, making it appear soft and realistic!
Keep in mind that these lines should be drawn with light strokes.
Dont down too hard with your pencil to avoid creating harsh, unrealistic details.
There you have ityou have successfully drawn a realistic looking feather!
Feathers exist in a wide range of colors, which largely depends what kind of feather it is.
Feel free to color the feather using any color you like!
you could also use more than one color to create a one-of-a-kind, multi-colored feather!
Have fun playing with colors and watch as the feather ultimately comes to life!

There are so many different types of feathers, though, and you could also create some of these.
These feathers can be big and bold such as the ones you could find on an ostrich.
Or, they could be small and delicate as the tiny feathers of a hummingbird.
If you have some feathers in your house then you could use these.
Otherwise, you’re able to find many pictures online to help you!

This feather drawing would be perfect to try out some fun art tools and techniques on.
Feathers are really soft, so we would recommend using some softer art tools and mediums.
Some great ones to use would be some watercolor paints or colored pencils.
Thats not to say that brighter colors wouldnt look great as well!
If you portrayed some bright colors with colored pens and markers then this feather would really pop.
Finally, another fun idea would be to show what kind of bird this feather came from.
As we mentioned in the first tip, this could be any bird you love both great and small!
For another spin on this idea, you could even draw the feather amongst others on the birds body.
What creature do you think this feather comes from?
