Ready to draw an avian masterpiece? Learning how to draw a bird is an important step in any budding artist’s life! Drawing a flapping dove, soaring parrot, chirping chickadee, or nesting cardinal is easy, thanks to just a few simple tips. Put on your creative hat, put your pencil to the paper, and let’s get drawing.\n<\/p>\n

Ready, steady, draw! Put your pencil to the paper, and start from the head. Keep it simple and begin with just a curved triangle. Angle the sides upward and slightly outward to create two V shapes. Then, draw a small oval for the bird’s eye and a sharp beak.\n<\/p>\n

Feel your wings lift! Now that the head is complete, give your feathered friend some wings. Make two curved triangles on each side (similar to the head but larger). Then, draw feathers onto each wing. Feel those wings flutter!\n<\/p>\n

Wing it to the tail! This is the tricky part when drawing a bird. Start off with two larger triangles close together and curved. Then, draw smaller “V” shapes outlining the tail feathers. For a more detailed look, fill each feather with small curved lines. A pinned tail is a sign of caution, while an outstretched one is ready to fly.\n<\/p>\n
