Step 1

I began drawing with the head of the ostrich. Then the mouth and down to the neck. I also draw the eye

Step 2

I draw the large body of the ostrich at this stage.

Step 3

Here, I draw the two long legs of the ostrich ostrich with its two toes.

Step 4

I shaded the legs, the mouth, the neck and the head of the Ostrich using an orange colour. I also added some cracks on the legs.

Step 5

Here, I coloured the remaining part of the Ostrich with my 12B and 6B pencil and I also added brown colour to the feathers of the bird.
