Step 1:
First, draw the head with a C-shaped line. The blue crane has a long thin beak that is perfect for digging through mud for roots and delicious insects.
Step 2:
Next, draw a line to open the beak and a small circle for the eyes. Draw a line from the top of one eye to the end of the other eye.
Step 3:
Then draw the neck by making a short curved line from the back of the head and a longer curve from the beak that is symmetrical with the other.
Step 4:
Draw the long body with two lines to create the shape of a soccer ball. To make the feathers, create a U-shaped cluster in the center of your bird and four short lines at the bottom of the body for more feathers.
Step 5:
Blue cranes are known for their long and elegant plumage. Create these by creating two double points with the top layer shorter than the bottom layer.
Step 6:
Finally, draw the legs of this very tall bird with each leg consisting of two seams that form three separate toes.
