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. Using a pencil, draw an oval for her Egg-cellence’s body and a curved head.

- 2. Add round eyeballs, spiky head and tail feathers, and stick legs and feet.

- 3. Next, add one curved line for eyebrows, a beak, dots for pupils and a curved line for her wing.

- 4. Now add the final details: a zigzag collar, wing feathers and claws.

- 5. Go over the final outline in pen. Rub out any leftover guidelines.
- 6. Add colour if you like.
- We’d love to see your creations! Tag us @DiscoverKelpies on socials, or email kelpies@discoverkelpies.co.uk.
