How to Draw a Turkey in Disguise: A Fun Guide

Drawing is a super fun way to be creative, especially when you get to dress up a turkey in a cool disguise! In this guide, we’ll show you how to draw a turkey and give it a special costume. Grab your drawing tools, and let’s have some fun!

What You Need

  • Pencil
  • Marker
  • Paper
  • Eraser

Step 1: Draw the Turkey’s Shape

1. Draw the Head: Start by drawing an oval shape in the middle of your paper. This is the turkey’s head.

2. Create the Body: Below the head, draw a big “U” shape. This will be the turkey’s body.

3. Add Facial Features:

  • Draw a “V” shape for the beak in the middle of the head.
  • Add a curve above the beak for the top part.
  • Draw a “J” shape for the wattle (the part hanging from the beak).
  • Draw two circles for the eyes, one on each side of the head.

Step 2: Draw the Feet and Tail Feathers

1. Feet: Draw two smaller “U” shapes at the bottom of the body for the feet. Add lines in each “U” for the toes.

2. Tail Feathers:

  • Draw a line going out from each side of the body.
  • Create a big upside-down “U” shape connecting back to the body.
  • Draw lines to divide the tail feathers into sections.

Step 3: Disguise Your Turkey

Now it’s time to dress up your turkey! Let’s make it look like Santa Claus.

Drawing Santa’s Hat

1. Hat Base: Draw a line across the top of the turkey’s head, then add curves on both sides to make the hat.

2. Pompom: Add a circle on one side for the pompom and draw a curve to connect it to the hat.

3. Fluffy Part: Draw a fluffy line at the bottom of the hat.

Adding a Beard

1. Top of the Beard: Start from the hat and draw a “U” shape under the beak, connecting it back to the hat.

2. Bottom of the Beard: Draw another curve below the first “U” to finish the beard.

Step 4: Finish Your Drawing

1. Erase Guidelines: Use your eraser to remove any extra pencil lines inside the hat and beard.

2. Trace Features: Use your marker to outline the eyes, beak, and other features. Leave small circles white in the eyes for highlights.

Drawing Santa’s Costume

1. Belt: Draw a line across the turkey’s belly for the belt, and add a square in the middle for the buckle.

2. Coat Details: Draw lines to show the fluffy parts of Santa’s coat and connect them to the belt.

3. Feathers: Add curves to the tail feathers to match their shape.

Step 5: Color Your Turkey

Now that your turkey is all drawn, it’s time to add some color! You can use the traditional Santa colors or pick your own fun colors.

Final Touches

After coloring, take a moment to admire your turkey in disguise! You can pause and look at your drawing or make your own unique version.

Conclusion

Great job on drawing your turkey in disguise! We hope you had lots of fun and enjoyed being creative. Try dressing your turkey in different costumes and using different colors. Happy drawing!

  • What kind of disguise would you like to give your turkey, and why? Can you think of any other fun costumes besides Santa Claus?
  • Have you ever dressed up in a costume? What was it, and how did it make you feel? How do you think the turkey feels in its disguise?
  • Why do you think it’s important to use your imagination when drawing or creating art? Can you think of other activities where you use your imagination?
  1. Turkey Costume Parade: Gather some friends or family members and have a turkey costume parade! Each person can draw their own turkey in a different disguise. Once everyone is finished, take turns showing off your turkeys and explaining why you chose that particular disguise. This activity helps you think creatively and see how others express their ideas.

  2. Nature Walk Observation: Go on a nature walk with an adult and look for real turkeys or other birds. Observe their feathers, colors, and movements. When you return home, try drawing a turkey using what you observed. How would you disguise your turkey to blend in with the environment you saw?

  3. Color Experiment: Use different coloring tools like crayons, colored pencils, or markers to color your turkey in disguise. Try using unusual colors for the turkey’s feathers or costume. Discuss with a friend or family member how the colors change the look and feel of your turkey. This will help you understand how colors can affect the appearance of your drawings.
