You’ll find these flightless birds in Australia, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands. Most people mistake the cassowaries with ostriches; yet, they’re actually different, even though they do all belong to the same genus. These guys mainly eat fruit but can also feed on seeds, roots and even tiny animals that they are able to chew.

Interesting fact: the cassowary is the 2nd-heaviest bird living on planet Earth right now (and the 3rd-tallest). Important note: despite the fact that they look pretty funny and are usually very shy, the cassowaries are quite strong and are known to attack animals and people with fatal consequences.

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.
