How to Draw a Flamingo Using MS Paint

A flamingo is a large pink bird that typically lives in warm places such as Florida. Although they're not everywhere, you can bring a flamingo to your home. All you have to do is draw it using MS Paint. Here's how.

Instructions

1. Select a pink color for your flamingo. Before each of the following steps, you will need to select the pink color after you choose your tool but before you draw your shapes.

2. Choose the curved line tool in MS Paint to draw the flamingo's neck. First make a straight vertical line. Then click the upper half of your line and pull it to the left. Click the lower part of your line and pull it to the right. This will make an S-shape neck for your flamingo.

3. Work with the ellipse, or circle, shape to draw the flamingo body. Start at the bottom of the neck and pull your shape to the left or the direction that the top of the S-shaped neck is going.

4. Make a small circle for the head at the top of your S-shaped neck. To draw a perfect circle in MS Paint, simply hold the Shift key down as you right click and drag your mouse.

5. Use the free-form pencil tool to draw the flamingo beak. A flamingo's beak looks like half of a banana, only thicker. It is wide at the head, and it curves downward and comes to a point. Then it curves back up in the same direction.

6. Pick the straight line tool in MS Paint and draw one straight vertical line. This is the leg your flamingo stands on. Hold down the shift key as you right click and drag your mouse to get a perfectly straight line.

7. Draw a straight horizontal line using the same tool as in Step 6. The horizontal line should be half way up the line you drew in Step 6, and it should be as long as the flamingo's body. Draw a diagonal line connecting the body of your flamingo to the point on the horizontal line near the flamingo's back.

Tips & Warnings

• You can add eyes, toes and tail feathers using the free form pencil tool in MS Paint once the rest of your flamingo is done.
