Step 3: Add its lower head that looks like a small curve.
Step 4: Draw its front neck that is narrower from the beginning to the end.
Step 5: Draw its fluffy lower body with few soft curves.
Step 6: Draw its upper rounded body with a long, gentle curved line.
Step 7: Draw its lower body at the back and its tail using a medium curved line with tiny bumps.
Step 8: Include a feather that looks like a sharp oval within the body.
Step 9: Add one of its legs that is narrow, tubular, and resembles the alphabet "V" facing the right side. At the end of the leg lies a vertical, its wide feet in a vertical position.
Step 10: Include the other leg too, which is long, vertical, and lying under a curved portion. The feet are wide, lying horizontally with sharp claws.
Step 11: Give the eyebrow and detailing for the beak using tiny dash-like lines. Also highlight the tip of the beak. On its feet, add vertical lines and horizontal lines to show its webbed feet.
