Learn how to draw a roadrunner by starting with simple shapes and gradually adding details, feathers, and clean outlines.

Step 1:

Mark the width and height, draw two ovals for the roadrunner’s head and body, and add a line to show the beak.

Tip: Keep your lines light so you can easily erase later.

Step 2:

Draw the roadrunner’s neck and body, then add a guideline for its tail.

Tip: Smooth curves help keep the body proportions correct.

Step 3:

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

Tip: These guides make it easier to place details accurately.

Step 4:

Draw the basic shapes for the roadrunner’s legs, wings, and beak.

Tip: Focus on simple shapes before adding any details.

Step 5:

Add details to the roadrunner’s wing, then draw its eye, toes, crest, and tail.

Tip: Follow the guidelines closely for clean results.

Step 6:

Outline the roadrunner’s feathers and claws, then carefully refine the whole drawing with more details.

Tip: Refine slowly to keep the drawing neat and balanced.

Step 7:

Outline the roadrunner with thick and thin dark lines, add more details and the ground, then erase all the guidelines.

Tip: Thicker outer lines and thinner inner lines give a clean, finished look.
