Step 10: Draw a series of short lines along the basic path of the initial circle for the top of the head. Make the strokes longer when you get to the top of the circle for the feathery crest on the roadrunner's head. Sketch the crest lightly along the curvature of the initial circle. When you get the shape right, darken the lines.

Step 11: Draw smaller strokes on the top, right side to finish the top of the roadrunner's head. Draw a line along the bottom of the initial circle for the lower part of the head. Draw a thin, curved shape that's made up of short strokes to the right of the bird's eye for a patch of bare skin.

Step 12: Follow the path of the angled line on the right and lightly sketch the shape of the bird's leg around it. The section of the leg before the top angle should be thick. The rest of the roadrunner's leg should be thin. The angled section at the bottom represents the toe pointing back. Lightly sketch another toe pointing up. When you get the shape of the bird's leg right, darken the lines.

Keep the lines at the bottom close to the initial guide to create a thin leg. Darken the toes but make the lines a bit wavier. Also draw a pointy shape at the tips for the claws. Use the first two toes as templates to draw the roadrunner's other two toes the same way.

Step 13: Use the angled line on the right as a guide to draw the roadrunner's other leg the same way. Sketch the leg around the guide lightly and only darken the lines when you get the shape right. Make the top part wide. Use short, thin, curved lines for the front toes and make the tips pointy for the claws. Draw a couple of shorter curved lines on the back for the bird's other two toes. Don't forget the claws!

Step 14: Inside the body, draw a big shape that has a tip that points to the right for the bird's folded wing. The shape is wide on the left side and takes up a lot of space inside the roadrunner's body. As with the legs, sketch lightly at first.
