Prompt

Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle

Response

Okay, here's an SVG of a cartoonish pelican riding a bicycle. I've tried to keep it relatively simple but recognizable.

<svg width="400" height="350" viewBox="0 0 400 350" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <style>
    .pelican-body { fill: #F0F0F0; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }

    .pelican-pouch { fill: #FFC04D; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }
    .pelican-eye { fill: #000; }
    .pelican-leg { fill: #FFC04D; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }
    .pelican-wing { fill: #E0E0E0; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }

    .bike-frame { fill: none; stroke: #4682B4; stroke-width: 8; stroke-linecap: round; }
    .bike-wheel { fill: #FFF; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 4; }
    .bike-tire { fill: #555; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }
    .bike-spoke { stroke: #888; stroke-width: 1; }

    .bike-seat { fill: #654321; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 2; }
    .bike-pedal { fill: #777; stroke: #333; stroke-width: 1; }
    .bike-handlebar { fill: none; stroke: #777; stroke-width: 6; stroke-linecap: round; }
    .bike-grip { fill: #333; }

How to use it:

1. Copy the entire code block above.
2. Paste it into a plain text file.
3. Save the file with an .svg extension (e.g., pelican_bike.svg).
4. Open the file in a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) or an SVG editor (like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator).

Breakdown of the SVG:

• <svg> tag: Defines the SVG canvas size and viewport.
• <style> block: Contains CSS rules to style different parts of the pelican and bicycle. This makes it easier to change colors later.
• <!-- Bicycle --> group (<g id="bicycle">):
  • Wheels: Made of a larger circle for the tire and a smaller one for the rim, plus a hub and lines for spokes.
  • Frame: Constructed using path and line elements to create the classic diamond frame shape, fork, and stays.
  • Pedals and Cranks: lines for crank arms and rects for pedals.
  • Seat: An ellipse on a small line post.
  • Handlebars: A path for the curved bar and circles for grips.
• <!-- Pelican --> group (<g id="pelican">):
  • The transform="translate(30, 0)" on this group shifts the whole pelican a bit to the right to position it better on the bike.
  • Legs & Feet: Simple paths with quadratic Bezier curves (Q) to make them look like they're pedaling.
  • Body: An ellipse.
  • Wings: Simplified paths, positioned as if gripping the handlebars.
  • Neck: A curved path.
  • Head: A circle.
  • Beak & Pouch: Two paths using cubic Bezier curves (C) to create the characteristic pelican beak and pouch shape. A line adds a detail for the beak split.
  • Eye: A circle with a smaller white circle for a highlight.

This is a somewhat complex drawing for pure hand-coded SVG, but it should give you a good starting point. You can modify coordinates, colors, and shapes to customize it further!
