Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Body and neck
Draw a long, flat oval for the body. At the left end, draw a short curved line that rises up and to the left for the neck.
Step 3: Head and beak
At the top of the neck, draw a circle for the head with a small dot for the eye. Add a pointed beak stretching out to the left, with a tiny square and a short curved line hanging below it.
Step 4: The wing
Start on the back and draw a tall curved line that sweeps up to a point, like a sail. Then add one straight line slanting down inside the wing.
Step 5: Wing feathers
On the right side of the wing, draw a zigzag edge from the tip down to the body. Make each feather a pointy triangle, like the teeth of a saw.
Step 6: The bundle
Hang an egg shape from the beak, with the pointy end at the top. Add a curved line across it for the blanket fold.
Step 7: Two legs
At the right end of the body, draw two long, skinny lines stretching out behind. Make one a little higher than the other.
Step 8: Tail details
Where the wing meets the back, add a small scribble and one short line to show a few tail feathers.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a stork carrying a bundle
- Draw the neck as one short, smooth curve. If it wobbles, that is fine, because a stork's neck is curvy anyway.
- The wing zigzag is the trickiest part. Make each feather a little triangle and keep them about the same size.
- Draw the bundle as an egg with the pointy end up, hanging right from the beak.
