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: Head and body outline
Start at the left side of the body and draw one long curved line up and over the top for a big round head. Keep going down the right side with a couple of little bumps, so the chubby body is open at the bottom.
Step 3: The eyes
Draw two small solid circles in the middle of the head, side by side. Fill them in dark so they look shiny.
Step 4: The beak
Between the eyes, draw a small rounded triangle for the beak. Add a little curved line below it for the open mouth.
Step 5: The little wing
On the right side of the tummy, draw a short curved line like a hook that curls in from the edge of the body. It is a tiny wing tucked against the side.
Step 6: Two round eggs
At the bottom left of the body, draw two egg shapes that overlap, one behind the other. Add a short curved line on the body above them so they look cozy.
Step 7: The nest bowl
Draw a wide, curved line under the eggs for the inside edge of the nest. Then draw a bigger, wide bowl shape below it, with a bumpy bottom edge.
Step 8: Twigs sticking out
Add wiggly, bumpy twigs poking out of the nest on the left and the right. Make each one a little crooked, like a real branch.
Step 9: Straw details
Finish with a few short curvy lines near the right side of the nest rim, plus a tiny dash on the front, to look like crossing straw.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a baby robin in a nest
- Start with the head outline and take your time on the big round curve. Leave the bottom of the body open so the eggs and nest have room to fit in.
- The two eggs overlap, so draw the front egg last. Stop the line of the back egg when it meets the front one.
- Twigs look best when they are bumpy and uneven. Wobbly lines are a good thing here, so don't try to make them straight.
