Learn how to draw a flying stork carrying a baby by breaking the scene into simple shapes and gradually refining the details.

Step 1:

Mark the width and height, draw two ovals for the stork’s head and body, add a line for the beak, and draw the baby’s head and diaper.

Short tip: Keep the shapes light and loose so it’s easy to adjust proportions later.

Step 2:

Draw the stork’s neck, add a guideline for its tail, and sketch the baby’s diaper.

Short tip: Use smooth, flowing lines to give the stork a graceful flying pose.

Step 3:

Add guidelines to show where the baby’s legs will be, and where the stork’s wings, legs, and mouth will go.

Short tip: Long wing guidelines help create a sense of motion in the air.

Step 4:

Draw the basic shapes for the stork’s legs, wings, and beak, and sketch the baby’s legs.

Short tip: Keep the wings large and curved to emphasize flight.

Step 5:

Add the stork’s eye, toes, and tail, detail its wings, and carefully refine the baby’s legs, toes, and diaper.

Short tip: Small details, like toes and folds, add charm without making the drawing too complex.

Step 6:

Carefully refine the whole drawing by adding more details.

Short tip: Smooth out lines and gently adjust curves to improve the overall flow.

Step 7:

Outline the stork and baby with thick and thin dark lines, add more details, and erase all the guidelines.

Short tip: Thicker outer lines and thinner inner details give the drawing a clean, finished look.
