Draw two short, sturdy lines extending downwards from the bottom of the body for the legs. At the bottom of each leg, add three small, slightly pointed shapes for the webbed feet.
On the side of the body, draw a few overlapping, wavy lines to indicate the feathers of the wings.

How to Fix Common Goose Drawing Mistakes
- Neck Too Short/Thick: Geese have long, elegant necks. If yours looks short or stubby, try to make it longer and thinner as in Step 2.
- Body Not Rounded Enough: The goose has a plump, rounded body. If yours looks too angular or flat, make it more curved and full from Step 2.
- Missing Webbed Feet: The webbed feet are characteristic of water birds. Remember to add those two small points at the end of each leg in Step 3.
- Beak Shape: The beak is flat and triangular. If yours looks too pointy or rounded, adjust it in Step 4.
- Wing Detail: Don’t forget the wavy lines for the wing feathers to give it texture, as shown in Step 3.
Helpful Drawing Tips and Tricks For Kids
- Smooth Curves: Geese are full of smooth, flowing lines. Try to use continuous pencil strokes for the neck and body.
- Look at the Neck: The long, curved neck is very important for a goose’s shape. Practice drawing that first!
- Connect Shapes: Notice how the head, neck, and body connect smoothly. Think of them as one fluid shape.
- Light Sketching: Always start by drawing lightly with your pencil so it’s easy to erase and fix mistakes. You can press harder once you’re happy with your lines.
- Imagine It Moving: Think about how a goose moves – waddling, swimming, or flying. This can inspire your drawing!

- Waterproof Feathers: Like ducks, geese have special feathers that are oily and waterproof, keeping them dry even when they swim in ponds and lakes.
- Loyal Partners: Geese usually mate for life and are very loyal to their partners. They also protect their nests and goslings (baby geese) very fiercely!
- Loud Honkers: Geese are well-known for their loud “honking” sounds, which they use to communicate with each other, especially when warning of danger.
- Good Grazer: Geese love to eat grass! They are often seen grazing in fields, like small feathered lawnmowers.
- Long Lifespan: Some geese can live for many years, even up to 20 years or more, especially if they are cared for by humans.
