The Fowl Fiend from Secret Agent Nessie

When a gang of squabbling seagulls pull off a daring fish and chip heist, Secret Agent Nessie and her pals in the Water Espionage Team spring into action.

But hidden in a mysterious castle on the far side of the loch, a bird-brained enemy is hatching a devious plan… Read on to learn how illustrator Laura Howell draws Nugget, and give it a try yourself!

How to Draw:

  1. 1. Using a pencil, draw an oval for her Egg-cellence’s body and a curved head.
  2. 2. Add round eyeballs, spiky head and tail feathers, and stick legs and feet.
  3. 3. Next, add one curved line for eyebrows, a beak, dots for pupils and a curved line for her wing.
  4. 4. Now add the final details: a zigzag collar, wing feathers and claws.
  5. 5. Go over the final outline in pen. Rub out any leftover guidelines.
  6. 6. Add colour if you like.
  7. We’d love to see your creations! Tag us @DiscoverKelpies on socials, or email kelpies@discoverkelpies.co.uk.

About the Book

Secret Agent Nessie and her team of friends — genius inventor Bea the Beaver and quick-stinging Jelly the jellyfish — are on a mission to keep Loch Ness safe!

Chock full of water fights, bird puns, larger-than-life characters and at least one stolen tractor, Secret Agent Nessie is a laugh-out-loud, full-colour graphic-novel adventure. This bold and wacky tale of underwater espionage and feathered felons is perfect for children aged 6 and up. From the brilliant brain of author Gary Chudleigh (LEGO comics) and the playful pen of illustrator Laura Howell (The Beano).
