Materials you'll need:
- A pencil with an eraser
- A piece of paper
- A black pen or marker (optional)
Step 1: Draw the Basic Shape
- Start with a simple oval shape. This is where the bird's body will be.
- Add another oval shape on the left side of the first oval, slightly overlapping, for the bird's head.
Step 2: Draw the Head and Face
- Inside the head oval, draw two small circles for the eyes. Add small dots inside the eyes for the pupils.
- Draw a curved beak beneath the eyes, meeting the body oval.
Step 3: Draw the Wings
- Draw a curved line from the top of the body oval to the side of the head for the upper wing.
- Add another curved line from the lower part of the body oval, extending behind the bird, for the lower wing.
Step 4: Draw the Tail
- Draw a short curved line at the back of the bird's body for the tail.
Step 5: Add Details to the Wings and Tail
- Draw small tick-like marks on the wings and tail to represent feathers.
Step 6: Draw the Branch
- Below the bird, draw a simple branch for it to perch on.
Step 7: Add Final Touches
- Erase any unnecessary guidelines.
- Use the pen or marker to outline the bird's body, wings, tail, and branch.
- Add any additional details you like, such as extra feathers or texture.
Step 8: Complete and Enjoy
- Your bird drawing is now complete! Feel free to color and enhance it as you wish.
Remember, drawing is all about practice, so don't worry if your bird doesn't look exactly like the one you may have envisioned. With patience and creativity, you can draw beautiful birds of all kinds!
