Drawing a bird is a task that often faces children and their parents. Sparrows, crows, jackdaws, nightingales, bullfinches, eagles, tits and other birds are common objects in children's albums. There is also room for unusual characters - firebirds and Angry Birds. However, everything is not as difficult as it sometimes seems for beginning artists. Using visual lessons and acting step by step, step by step, you can make a high-quality and clear drawing. After several trainings in drawing birds, the child will get better and better.
Step by step bird drawing lessons
Bird drawing lessons with step-by-step photos for beginners will help artists master the art of creating birds on paper.
Wintering bird: drawing a sparrow
Among wintering birds, the most popular are sparrows. Creating a drawing of such a bird is quite simple if you proceed in stages.
- You need to draw an elongated oval. This is the base of the bird's body.
- At the top of the workpiece you need to draw a figure with rounded contours. This will be the head. Several straight lines are drawn below. This is the tail of a wintering bird.
- Next, the beak is clearly drawn.
- Then you need to use smooth contours to create the outline of the breast, wings and make the eye.
- You need to draw the sparrow's legs with a pencil.
- All that remains is to color the drawing using colored pencils or felt-tip pens. If desired, you can use paints.
Bird in flight: drawing a seagull
- The process of drawing a bird in flight is much simpler than it seems. Even a child can cope with the task. First you need to draw a circle, which in the future will become the head, and the body of the bird. The bottom and top of the body should be a little sharp. There is no need for roundness here. Then the eye and beak are drawn, after which the contours of the circle must be erased with an eraser.
- Now we need to draw the span of the flying wings and the tail. The wing, which is located closer to the right edge of the paper sheet, should be much larger and longer than the second and the body. No need to grind!
- Next you need to finish drawing the paws and wings. The first ones need to be depicted folded tightly to each other.
- Then you need to draw lines that will make the thigh. To do this, the contour is drawn from the seagull's foot down. Next, the feathers on the tail and wings of the bird are depicted.
- It is necessary to remove all unnecessary contours.
- All that remains is to draw the shadows. The wings of the bird in flight should be made almost black and the underside of the seagull should be greatly darkened. Plus, a shadow also falls from the wing on the body. On the second wing, located closer to the left edge of the sheet, you should slightly outline the outlines of the feathers along the entire length. Similar contours need to be made on the body and around the head.
Angry Birds
Tit
This master class is designed to help you draw a tit.
- Draw a circle: this is the future head. Using straight lines we sketch out the body of the tit.
- We give the bird's head the necessary shape. We make the tit's beak and draw an eye in the upper right part of the head.
- We make the contours of the tit’s body more distinct. The head should flow very smoothly into the body. Draw the abdomen round. We remove the auxiliary lines.
- Now we draw a twig. We depict the wing of a tit and the upper part of the bird’s legs.
- We complete the image of the paws. Draw the fingers and tail.
- Using small, abrupt lines, we sketch out the boundaries of the color transitions. We draw feathers on the wing and tail.
- We complete the work: shade the tit’s head and tail. Draw small feathers where necessary.
Woodpecker
Thanks to this master class, you can draw a very nice and realistic woodpecker step by step. MK will help adults and children who have decided to master the technique of drawing birds.
- We schematically create the contours of the head and body of the future woodpecker. In this case, the sheet of paper should first be divided barely noticeably into four parts.
- Next, a sketch of the tail and beak of the bird is also schematically made.
- Now we need to draw the general outline of the torso of the depicted object and its head.
- We are engaged in creating details and their clear drawing: eyes, beak, feathers, wings, etc.
- We complete the work on the nuances and erase all the auxiliary elements.
- We shade with a simple pencil all the necessary areas according to the natural colors of the woodpecker’s plumage.
Bullfinch
The proposed detailed MK will help beginners draw a very attractive bullfinch on their own.
- Before starting work, divide the sheet into four segments. This will help you sketch correctly. We draw, as in the picture below, 3 circles. This is the basis of the future bullfinch.
- Next, the general outline of the image is created with smooth lines.
- We outline the previously created silhouette of the bullfinch.
- Draw the bird's legs and tail. We create recognizable details of the bullfinch. Don't forget about the eyes. Erase all unnecessary lines.
- Add small details of the bullfinch's legs and plumage.
- We shade all the necessary areas.
Magpie
Using the step-by-step instructions below, you can easily draw a magpie. By following the recommendations and using drawings as tips, even novice artists will certainly succeed in creating a bird.
- First we draw a circle. From it we form the head of the future magpie, drawing the beak and eye.
- Let's sketch the silhouette of a magpie. At this stage, it is important not to forget about maintaining the proportions of the drawing.
- Let's create the shape of the magpie's body.
- We draw the tail, paws, wings.
- We depict other details. We form a contour for separating the magpie shades.
- We make the bird's plumage along the lower contour. We depict feathers and erase everything unnecessary.
- We shade all areas in accordance with the plumage of the magpie.
As you can see, drawing a bird with a pencil step by step is not particularly difficult. Tips for beginners will help you cope with the task in a few steps. Both children and adults will enjoy these drawing lessons. After all, the image will certainly turn out clear, realistic and original.

3. Draw a woodpecker using a stencil:
Take a dry sponge, dip it in red paint and press the sponge onto a sheet of paper through the stencil where the bird’s head is
Then, in the same way we draw wings, beak, tail, only with black paint
Apply white paint and a dry sponge to where the bird’s belly is.

Today we will find out how to draw a woodpecker with a pencil, a cute bird that leads an arboreal lifestyle. Woodpeckers feed on insects: they chisel the bark of a tree and take them out from under it. You can often hear a characteristic knocking sound in the forest. Woodpeckers' legs, short, with long fingers and sharp claws, allow them to cling well to a tree trunk. The beak of this bird is straight, long and cone-shaped. And the wedge-shaped tail is used as a support. Its plumage is variegated, black and white, and there are also red and yellow markings on the body and head. It is very interesting to watch a woodpecker when it is at work and looking for food. So let's try to draw it on a tree.
How to draw a woodpecker with a pencil
Step one. In the center of the sheet, draw a circle - the head. Let's draw a line from it to the side - the axis of the future straight beak. To the right of the circle, place the oval and connect it to the head with two lines: one is straight, the second is curved inward. 
Step two. Let's draw a long and straight beak, leaning on the already finished axis. Let's draw a small crest on the back of our bird. 
Step three. Now we carefully examine the drawing and try to draw exactly the same stripes on the face. Let's continue the line of the back further from the body, not completely straight, but slightly curved inward. 
Step four. Let's draw the bird's abdomen, outline some plumage and a tail. On the face there is a small eye with a pupil inside. A pair of uneven horizontal lines will show us the tree trunk on which the woodpecker is sitting. 
Step five. Let's draw the paws. Below them we will draw another line - a cleft in the trunk. Let's show a large dark spot on the tree. 
Step six. We finish drawing the long straight tail and wing. Lines along the contour will depict the unevenness of the plumage. 
Step seven. Our woodpecker is almost ready. Using an eraser, you need to carefully remove the failed lines and draw a thicker outline. 
You can color our bird: dark body plumage, a red cap on its head, white and red stripes on its face. That's all the recommendations. You can relax and read jokes. I hope you will know how to draw a woodpecker with a pencil. Write
