Drawing is a fun way to be creative! Today, we will learn how to draw a baby goose, which is called a gosling. Get your crayons and paper ready, and let’s start drawing!
Here are the things you’ll need:
First, use your gray crayon to draw a circle near the top of your paper. This circle is the head of your baby goose. Color it in nicely. Take your time!
Next, let’s draw the neck. Start at the back of the head and draw a line going down and forward. Then, draw another line to make the front of the neck. You can make the neck as long as you want!
Now, let’s draw the body. From the front of the neck, draw a “U” shape that curves around and goes back up. Then, connect a curved line from the end of the “U” to the neck. Don’t forget to add a little tail at the back!
Use your gray crayon to color the neck and body of the gosling. Baby goslings are usually yellow, but we’re using gray to show an older gosling.
Now, use your black crayon to add details. Draw a circle inside the head for the eye and a smaller circle inside it for a shiny spot. You can color the eye or leave it as is.
Next, draw the beak. Make a line coming out from the head, curve it a little, and bring it back to the head. Draw a line for the mouth too!
For the legs, draw a small oval or circle at the bottom of the body. Then, draw a line down for the leg and two lines out for the foot. Connect these lines to finish the foot and color it black. Do the same for the other leg.
If you see any crayon bits on your paper, gently wipe them away with a paper towel. Now, outline your drawing. Start at the beak, go around the head, down the neck, and all the way to the tail. Outline the legs and add a wing with a curve.
Great job! You’ve drawn a baby gosling. You can add a background like a pond or grass, or even draw a mama goose or other goslings.
We hope you had fun drawing a gosling with us! Remember, art is all about having fun, so add your own special touches. Happy drawing, and see you next time!
Gosling Observation Walk: Take a walk in a nearby park or nature area with your family or friends. Look for real geese and goslings. Observe their colors, shapes, and how they move. Can you spot any differences between the goslings and adult geese? Draw what you see when you get home and compare it to your drawing from the lesson.
Create a Gosling Story: Use your drawing of the gosling to create a short story. Think about where your gosling might live, what it likes to do, and who its friends are. Share your story with your family or classmates. You can even make a small book by stapling some pages together and drawing pictures to go along with your story.
Color Experiment: Try using different colors to draw another gosling. What happens if you use yellow or brown instead of gray? How does it change the look of your gosling? Discuss with your friends or family why you think goslings might be different colors in real life. You can also try using different art materials like markers or paints to see how they change your drawing.
