Learn how to draw a vulture by starting with simple shapes and gradually adding structure, feathers, and final details.

Step 1:

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

Short tip: Keep the shapes light so you can adjust proportions easily.

Step 2:

Draw the vulture’s neck and add a guideline for its tail.

Short tip: A long, curved neck gives the vulture its distinctive posture.

Step 3:

Add guidelines to show where the vulture’s legs, wings, and beak will go.

Short tip: Use smooth guiding lines to keep everything aligned.

Step 4:

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

Short tip: Focus on simple forms before adding details.

Step 5:

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

Short tip: Light feather lines help define the wing structure.

Step 6:

Outline the feathers and claws, then carefully refine the whole vulture drawing.

Short tip: Layer the feathers to make the wings look fuller and more realistic.

Step 7:

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

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