How to draw a Bartamus : Printable Version

Start by making a large circle for the Bartamus's body. Lightly sketch a line across it, which will help you to place the Bartamus's eyes later on.

Next, add two little horns to the top of the Bartamus's head. To make its feet, draw two small ovals under the circle you made in the first step.

It's now time to give your Bartamus its distinctive wings. Make two large wings behind it. Then, connect the Petpet's feet to its body with two pairs of short lines.

Let's give the face of your Bartamus some detail. Using the guide line you made in the first step, draw the Bartamus's eyes. They should look a bit grumpy. Next, give the Bartamus a frowning mouth with two pointy teeth sticking out of it. Finally, add claws to the tops of the Bartamus's wings.

Make your Bartamus look a bit more realistic by drawing some bumps on the top of its head and cheeks, as well as adding ridges above the Petpet's eyes. Also, make a curved line beneath its mouth for its lower lip. Lastly, draw some claws on the Bartamus's feet.

Erase any extra lines you might have, then draw the bony structure and folds of the Bartamus's wings. Next, to give its feet a little extra detail, make some curved lines around the base of the Bartamus's claws. As a finishing touch to its face, create an arch in each of the Bartamus's eyes for its pupils.

Be sure you don't have any extra lines left over. Your drawing should now look like this. It's almost time to colour!

Give your Bartamus drawing some colour using anything you'd like, from markers to coloured pencils. Be sure to add plenty of shading and highlights, so that your Bartamus will look ready to fly off the page!
