How to Draw a Feather Pen
- Start by drawing a long, slightly curved line to represent the quill’s main shaft.
- Draw another, shorter curved line parallel to the first one, starting from the top and ending halfway down the shaft.
- Connect the two lines at the top with a curved line to form the tip of the quill.
- Draw the feather’s barbs on both sides of the shaft by drawing curved lines starting from the shaft and tapering outwards. Make the barbs longer towards the middle and shorter towards the top and bottom of the shaft.
- Add more layers of barbs to create a fuller, more realistic appearance for the feather.
- At the tip of the quill, draw a small, elongated triangle to represent the nib.
- Add a small slit in the center of the nib to give it a more realistic look.

About the Feather Pen
A feather pen, also known as a quill pen, is a writing instrument made from a feather of a bird, usually a goose or a swan.
The feather is sharpened at one end and used to dip into ink or pigment, which is then applied to paper or parchment to create writing or drawings.
Feather pens were commonly used in the past before the invention of modern pens, and they are still used today for decorative purposes or in calligraphy and art.
They can be made with different types of feathers, and the size and shape of the pen nib can be adjusted by cutting the feather to different lengths and angles.
