bird step by step drawing tutorial

Hi everybody, and welcome to a newNIL-Tech drawing tutorial: "Blue Bird". In this tutorial, we'll draw a bird with gorgeous blue feathering. You may find them at the zoo or out of your home window. Birds are an amazing species that come in unlimited colors, sizes, and kinds. They have been around for a very long time and have always made us envious of their capacity tofly.


Here are some interesting facts about birds:

1. A bird's lungs are far more complicated as well as efficient and also take up even more space than those of animals, such as people. A human's lungs compose about 1/20 of its body, and a bird's takes up 1/5.

2. The Australian pelican has the longest bill of any bird in the world. It is almost 2 feet (0.5 m) long. The sword-billed hummingbird, with its 3.9-inch (10 cm) bill, is the only bird with a bill that's longer than its body.

3. The most talkative bird in the world is the African gray parrot. One parrot could say over 800 words. Most species of parrots can learn just 50.

4. The bird with the most feathers is the whistling swan, with up to 25,000 feathers. Hummingbirds, on the other hand, are so little that they have less than 1,000.

5. The sort of food bird consumes in the wild is directly related to the form of a bird's beak.

Step 4. Add details to the tree branch to make it look more natural. Add some groups of leaves on the branch; try to make them different, for example, smaller or bigger (graphite pencil).

Draw some details on the bird's feathering, wings, and on the bark. You can skip this part if you want, yet it's good to think over the drawing before starting to color it (graphite pencil).

Step 5.Before starting to color in the drawing, outline the main contours with a grey or a graphite pencil. A little tip: using a light grey pencil will help to keep the colors in your artwork tidy without the pollutant of the graphite strokes. Make the lines of the underdrawing are barely noticeable.

Create the base color layer of the bird's feathering, draw lengthy hatches resembling hair or hair (medium blue pencil).
