Peacock Drawing Tips for Beginners
- Always start with light pencil strokes — you can darken later
- The tail feathers should fan out evenly in a semicircle shape
- Each feather "eye" should be the same size for a balanced look
- Use blue-green colors for the body and golden colors for the feather tips
- The neck and head of a peacock are rich royal blue — don't forget this detail!
What Colors to Use for a Peacock Drawing
A peacock uses a rich, jewel-toned color palette. The body and tail base are teal green, the neck and head are royal blue, the feather "eyes" are iridescent blue-green-purple, and the tips of the feathers are golden. The legs and beak are a warm brown. See our color guide in the sidebar for exact color recommendations.
