How do you do beaks? I'm trying to draw Chica but I don't really know how to draw any beaks

Ah, my apologies to say, but I don’t think I could give a firm ‘tutorial’ or anything of how I draw beaks! I can say, when you first start out with drawing them, it can be a bit of a challenge, especially with the different types of bird beaks there are (and size\shape of ‘em matter a lot!). More so when trying to draw them at different angles.

After you look at a lot of references and tend to draw them often, though, it kind of becomes second nature, at least for me! This being said, a chicken’s beak is a fairly easy beak to master! Perhaps this can show how I typically do them? <:)

Pretty much a doodle page more than anything, but overall, I tend to relate chick beaks to… roundly-tipped eggs, in a way! Even then, though, I don’t find myself needing to draw guidlines or anything for a beak. I just start drawing it! :)

Haha, again, I don’t really do ‘tutorials’, and my method isn’t necessarily professional! But seriously, real life references are the way to go if it can apply to whatever you’re drawing; especially beaks in this case! Alongside that, having reference of Chica herself helps! And, of course, once you get more comfortable with it, don’t be afraid to stylize and\or exaggerate, if that maybe works best for you. :)
