How to Draw a Stork Delivering a Baby · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Chest curve
Start on the left with a short wiggle, then draw one long, smooth curve that swoops down and sweeps to the right, like a big smile. This is the bottom of the stork's chest and body.
Step 2: Head, back and tail
Draw a small arch like a rainbow for the top of the head. From the back of the head, curve a long line up to the top right for the top edge of the wing. Then add a curved line with a pointy bump at the lower right for the tail.
Step 3: The wing feathers
At the top right end of the big wing, draw a row of rounded bumps, like fingers on a spread-out hand. Make each feather a little curved bump.
Step 4: The far wing
Above the head, draw a tall rounded wing shape like a leaf. Give its edge a row of small wavy bumps down to the back.
Step 5: The long beak
Draw a long, thin triangle pointing left from the front of the head. Make it pointy at the far end.
Step 6: The eye
Add a small round dot for the eye, on the head just above the beak.
Step 7: The baby bundle
Under the beak, draw a bag shape with a wide rounded bottom and a narrower top, as if the beak is holding it. Add a few short curved lines inside for the folds of the blanket.
Step 8: The legs
At the lower right of the body, draw two long skinny lines for the legs, pointing down and to the right. Finish each with a pointy foot at the end.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a stork delivering a baby
- Draw the beak as a long, thin triangle. Keep it straight and pointy, and the stork will look right.
- The wing feathers are the trickiest part. Think of fingers on a hand, and draw one round bump at a time.
- Draw the bundle after the beak so you can see where the bag hangs from it. Keep the bag lines slightly slanted so it looks like it is swinging.

Questions about drawing a stork delivering a baby
What shapes do I need to draw a stork?
You need a long curve for the body, a small arch for the head, a long triangle for the beak, and a bag shape for the bundle. The wings are made of bumpy edges that look like fingers or leaves.
How do I make my stork look cuter?
Make the head a little rounder and the eye dot a bit bigger. A plump baby bundle also helps.
How do I draw the wings so they look like they are flapping?
Tilt the big wing up toward the top right and the far wing up above the head, so they point in different directions. Bumpy feather tips on both wings make them look like they are moving.
