Before you learn how to draw A Toucan, did you know?

These birds come with bright bills and belong to the Ramphastidae family (it’s pretty hard to pronounce, I know). Overall, there are 40 species in this family, and the Toucans are, without doubt, one of the most popular members. They do not migrate, by the way.

The Toucans usually hide their nests in tree hollows and other hidden spots; when the eggs hatch, the “birdies” are completely defenseless. Usually, these birds tend to stick together and you’ll find them living in tiny flocks. Those big bills aren’t good for excavation, but look good nevertheless.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
