How To Draw A Flamingo

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

The flamingo is a graceful and majestic bird. It's very attractive to look at, and its pink colored body adds to its appeal. I always wanted to know how to draw a flamingo. That's mostly because I was baffled by the bird's sheer beauty, and always admired it in general. Recently, as I got back to my old habits of drawing and painting, I decided to explore the best possible ways to draw flamingos. So, I sat myself down, headed over to YouTube, and got through some of the best flamingo drawing tutorials available on the platform. These videos helped me a lot, and if you're anything like me, and have been just as curious, I believe that you too can benefit from these videos.

To draw a flamingo, you can follow a three step approach. In the first step, you draw the bird's long neck. Next, you sketch its body. Finally, you draw the bird's legs. Usually, most flamingo drawings show the bird standing. Sometimes, however, you'll also need to show them in a flying state.
