My Drawing Of Turkey Wearing Glasses Idea

Here’s what I got. I used a black acrylic marker for outlining and my son’s wax crayons for coloring. It did sparkle my creativity so I decided to forgo the traditional turkey colors and choose something else!

If you want to use the same technique (acrylic marker + wax crayons), do the outline first and then color because the marker won’t draw on the surface where wax crayons were applied!

Conclusion

And there you have it— a parade of adorable turkeys, each with its own quirky charm, brought to life by little hands! We hope these easy turkey drawing ideas have filled your day with color and joy. 

Remember, every scribble is a step towards creativity, and every line is a laugh waiting to happen. Keep these drawings as a memento of fun times or use them to decorate your space for a festive Thanksgiving vibe. 

Until our next artistic adventure, keep those crayons dancing and the imagination soaring! Happy drawing, little artists!
