Intro
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to draw your very own goose. We have plenty of examples of realistic drawings and cartoon drawings you can follow.
Materials Needed
You can draw with a pencil and make sure you have an eraser. At the end of your drawing, you can color your goose using colored pencils, crayons, or markers. Let’s get started with our tutorial.
Getting Started
First, draw the head, neck, and body all connected. The body should be an oval shape and there should be a long skinny neck that leads to a circle head. You can get started by sketching the outline of the goose’s head, neck, and body. To make your goose look more realistic, start drawing the tail feathers on the body. Second, add the wings, beak, legs, and feet. The wings are large and circular, the beak is a triangle shape with a line through the middle to represent the mouth, and the feet are webbed or palmate feet. Third, add details to the beak, wings, face, legs, and feet. You need to draw the goose feathers on the wing by sketching short lines. The beak and feet should be colored orange and the body should be colored white.
How to Draw a Goose Easy in 4 Simple Steps
Step-By-Step Goose Drawing Tutorial
Get ready to learn how to draw a goose! This is a fun and easy drawing tutorial that will teach you all the basics. You’ll be able to create this pretty bird in just four simple steps, and then use it as a template for other geese with different features or poses. So let’s get started!
Step 1: Start with an Oval As The Body of your Goose
Start with an oval. Using a pencil, draw the shape of a goose starting at its head and continuing down to its tail feathers.
At this point, you should have an oval that is more round where the belly will be and slightly squared off where the backside of the goose will be. The bottom of the goose and the front of the goose will be rounded and the geese have large bellies.
Step 2: Draw 2 Long Curved Neck Lines from the Goose’s Body Up to a Round Head
These lines will create a very basic framework for your goose’s head, neck, and body shape. Draw the egg-shaped oval first for the body, then go over it with a thin curved line at the top going up to the neck. The bottom of this line should meet at the top right portion of the oval you drew for the body. Then, at the top of the neck, draw a rounded head. A goose head is a sideways oval in shape with a beak coming out.
Step 3: Draw the Goose’s Eye, Head, Beak, and Legs
- Draw the eyes using two ovals that are positioned apart towards the top of the head to form the goose’s eyes.
- Draw a sideways triangle-like shape for the beak, then add a horizontal line across the beak to show where it opens.
- Draw two feet by using straight legs and then draw the goose foot, which is rounded at the end where the heel is with three “toes” as the foot. Geese have webbed feet and very skinny legs coming off their rounded body.
Step 4: Add Feather Details to Your Goose
Add some additional lines to your goose to represent the feathers. Make sure the tail of the goose comes to a point and sketch some lines coming out. Finally, add some feather detail by drawing two long curved lines that extend outward from both sides of his body—these are his wings! By simply sketching hair lines around the goose, you can give it a lot more detail.
Step 5: Color Your Goose
Geese are different colors but in general, they either have white, brown, and/or grey feathers. Some geese may have patterns of grey and white feathers. Their beaks, legs, and webbed feet are mostly orange in color, but some varieties have dark grey beaks, legs, and feet. If you are doing a drawing, the standard colors would be white feathers, an orange beak, orange legs, and orange feet.
Best Tips For Drawing a Realistic Goose
To draw a goose that looks real, you need to pay attention to how most geese look and how big they are. This will help you figure out how the bird’s different parts fit together. Finding high-quality images of geese from different angles, lighting, and poses will also help you understand the details and textures of the bird. Once you know a lot about the goose’s body, you can start by drawing simple shapes that look like the goose’s head, body, wings, legs, beak, and feet. Slowly add details like patterns on the feathers, the texture of the beak, and the eyes to make your drawing look real.
