A plump round body perched on tiny clawed feet gives Mortimor Pokoly his instantly readable silhouette, and this tutorial on how to draw Mortimor Pokoly walks through his chibi bird form as seen in the Craig of the Creek cartoon character lineup. The drawing is line art only, so all 10 steps focus entirely on getting the shapes and proportions right.
A Chibi Bird in 10 Steps
This is a compact, full-body sketch built around simple curved forms with no background, so every step goes toward nailing the bird’s rounded structure. The biggest challenge is keeping the dome head and folded wing proportional to the small body below. Because the result is uncolored line art, line weight and clean curves do most of the work.
Mortimor Pokoly’s Key Visual Features
- Round oversized head with large dome shape
- Small circular eye and small beak
- Feathered wing folded against body
- Curved body with tail feathers below
- Small clawed feet at the base
If you want to draw other characters from the same show, Kelsey Pokoly is a natural next step since she is Mortimor’s owner. You can also check out J.P. Mercer and Craig Williams to round out the main crew.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
