How to Draw the Golden Goose

Step 1: Small round head

Near the top left, draw a round head. Start and stop at the bottom, leaving a gap for the neck.

Tip Leave lots of room under it for the body and the nest.

Step 2: Flat bill

On the face, draw a flat bill pointing left, half a head long, with a round tip and mouth line.

Step 3: One big eye

In the middle of the head, draw a big round eye with a black dot and a white shine.

Tip Leave a strip of cheek between the bill and the eye.

Step 4: Curvy neck

From the 2 ends of the head, draw 2 lazy S neck lines down. Stop at the shoulders.

Tip Keep the neck smooth, and wider where it meets the body.

Step 5: Plump sitting body

From the neck, draw a fat bean body: along the back, round the bottom, and up to the neck.

Tip The body is wide and low, because the goose is sitting.

Step 6: Teardrop wing

On the back half of the body, draw a teardrop wing pointing at the tail. Add 2 short feather lines.

Step 7: Short pointed tail

At the back of the body, draw a short pointed tail sticking out and up, like a little wedge.

Step 8: Nest rim and bowl

Draw a flat oval rim round the goose, starting and stopping on the left. Add a U bowl under it.

Tip The front of the rim passes in front of her tummy; she sits inside.

Step 9: Twigs and ground

Draw 3 sagging twig lines across the bowl, side to side. Add a long ground line under the nest.

Step 10: Three golden eggs

Tuck 2 eggs behind the rim, by her chest and wing tip. Add 1 on the ground and 2 sparkles.

Step 11: Cream goose, sand wing

Colour the head, neck and body cream, and the wing and tail light sand. Leave the eye white.

Step 12: Gold eggs, orange bill

Colour the eggs yellow and the bill orange.

Step 13: Wood brown nest

Colour the nest wood brown, around the goose and the eggs. Go over your lines. Your golden goose is done!
