Soar into Art: Your Easy Guide to Drawing a Bird

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Sketch a Basic Oval Start by drawing a large oval for the body. Think of it as the bird's cozy home.

2. Add a Triangle for the Head On one side of the oval, draw a smaller triangle for the head. This will be where the bird’s eyes and beak sit.

3. Draw the Wings and Tail Extend two curved lines from the top and bottom of the oval to create the wings. Then, draw a long, pointed shape from the back of the oval for the tail.

4. Detail the Features Add a small circle in the triangle for the eye, a curved line for the beak, and some feathers around the body and wings.

5. Final Touches Erase any extra lines and add shading to give your bird some depth. Use soft, sweeping motions to mimic the flow of real feathers.

Drawing Tips

• Use Light Strokes: Start with gentle, light pencil marks so you can easily adjust your drawing.
• Practice Regularly: The more you draw, the better you'll get. Try drawing birds in different poses!
