How to draw a peacock

A giant fan of feathers, a little bird in front, and an eye on every feather. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your peacock to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a peacock

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the tail fan

Draw a giant bumpy rainbow shape with a flat bottom. Make each bump round, like the top of a cloud.

2

Add the body and head

A small round head in the middle, then a thin neck that grows into a pear-shaped body.

3

Give it a face

Two dot eyes and a tiny pointed beak between them.

4

A crown and two feet

Three thin feathers on top of the head with a dot on each tip. Then two little feet at the bottom.

5

An eye on every feather

Draw an oval inside each bump of the fan. Tip each oval toward the bird, and leave a gap between them.

6

Finishing touches

A dot in the middle of every oval, and a folded wing on each side of the body. Now this peacock is yours.

Now draw a peacock showing off a brand-new pattern.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper peacock into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little crest bob below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
