Draw baked potatoes and lingonberries. You need to start drawing a turkey with additional products. Draw a series of circles of different diameters, alternating with each other. Large circles—baked potatoes, next to small circles—lingonberries.
Add the lettuce leaves. Draw some wavy leaves below the circles.
Sketch the plate. Next, draw a part of the plate in the form of an arc. It starts from the lettuce leaf on the left side and ends on the right.
Draw the turkey wing. Moving on to the turkey itself. Draw two diagonal lines from the same point. Then continue them to the right, forming a semi-oval. This will create a bird’s wing. See an example from the instructions.
Start drawing the leg. To do this, draw a large oval a little to the right of the wing.
Add the bone. On the right side of the leg, draw two lines that taper and form two arcs at the end—you will get a bone.
Draw the second bone. Repeat the action: draw a second bone next to the first, slightly smaller.
Draw the rest of the turkey. One of the final steps is to draw a large semicircle as shown in the instructions to outline the rest of the body.
Color the drawing. The following colors were used: turkey carcass, dark orange-yellow, light yellow for baked potatoes, red lingonberries. Green is the salad and blue is the serving plate.
