Heron

It's easy to draw a heron. Her body looks like an elongated oval. Draw a curved neck and long beak, a thin long leg on which the bird stands, and the heron has tucked the other one, it is barely visible.

Penguin

The shape of a penguin resembles a large oval. Add details to it and the bird will be ready.

Swan

Draw the swan's body and long neck. Notice how large the wings of this bird are. Add a lot of feathers to make the wings fluffy.

Mockingbird

This bird is easy to draw using ovals: an oval body, a head, wings, an elongated oval tail. Finally, draw feathers, a sharp beak and tenacious paws.

Small bird

Draw an oval - this will be the body of the bird. Then draw a head and a tail and connect them with a smooth line. All that remains is to draw the wing, legs and beak. Revive the drawing with details, draw feathers, a branch on which the bird is sitting.

Parrot

Draw the parrot an oval body, a round head and long tail. Draw a humped beak and tenacious claws.

Capercaillie

Draw the body of the capercaillie, an elongated neck and a bushy tail that looks like a fan.

Goose

The body of a goose looks like an oval. Draw a long neck and legs. Pay attention - the bird’s legs are flat and wide. Draw a wing and feathers.

Pelican

Draw an oval body and a long thin neck. Pay attention to the bird's beak - it looks like a bag, in which the bird carries caught fish.

Sanding techniques

Artists use different techniques drawings, including pencil shading. Let's take a closer look at this technique.

There are several methods of shading: vertical, horizontal, shading at an angle, shading with a pencil, according to the shape of an object, overlapping strokes, mixing colors.

I hope these simple bird drawing lessons and brief description basic types of shading will be useful to teachers in drawing lessons at school and classes in kindergarten.

Guessing riddles about birds (in the literary appendix)





After getting acquainted with the birds on the posters, you can offer the children a game - find identical birds on the cards, name them, tell about them
Note:
This practical work can become part of a big educational project. An exhibition of children's drawings can decorate a group or music hall on Bird Day.

Work progress:

Option 1 (singing birds)
This is the easiest way to work. It can be used to work with children - 4 -5 years old. Very often, children of this age draw fish and birds almost identically. We will learn to simply draw birds.
Fold the plain sheet and the sheet of carbon paper in half with the short sides facing each other. Older children can do this on their own.
With this kind of drawing, even a mistake in folding the sheet will not be a mistake. (After all, birds can sing while looking at each other, or turning away from each other). But it’s better, of course, for an adult to control the folding process.
If the sheet is folded to the left, then the bird's head should be closer to the fold than the body


We place the circle of the head and the oval of the body along the diagonal of the sheet (the diagonal goes from the upper left to the lower right corner). You need to mentally imagine it, you can even run your finger to feel it. The proportions of the circle of the head and the oval of the body differ in different birds. In our case, small songbird has a small head and body. But we still draw an oval larger than a circle.


Now we draw the eye and beak. The eye is small and round. The beak is also ordinary. When drawing a parrot, crossbill, heron, flamingo or pelican, the beak, of course, will be different. These birds have beaks adapted to obtain different foods.


Add a neck and draw feathers above the paws


The wing is shaped like a teardrop. You need to draw it from a point above the body. Smooth line draws a silhouette of a droplet and returns to the same point.


The second wing peeks out from behind the first.
The next stage is the image of the tail. Since we are not drawing a specific bird (a sparrow or a titmouse), we draw any tail - short or long.


Draw the feathers on the neck and tail


We draw long feathers on the wings. They are called flywheels.


The feathers on the body and head are short and small. They can simply be depicted with dashes.


Paws and crest give the pattern a finished look


Twigs and leaves complement the composition of the leaf.


Unfold the picture and take it out carbon paper.


We tint (shade with a cotton pad) or paint the work. You can color with wax, pastel or gel crayons, as well as colored pencils.

Option 2 (woodpeckers)



You can often see woodpeckers in the forest. Most often we do not see them, but hear them. Today we’ll draw. We will draw one bird, and when we unfold it we will get two.


First we draw a straight line vertical line approximately in the middle of the sheet. This is the trunk. The woodpecker clings to the trunk with its paws, but its tail also serves as a support. We place the circle of the head and the oval of the body diagonally. The oval is closer to the trunk, the circle is further away.


We connect the head and torso. We draw down “droplets” of wings and a tail. We outline the boundaries of the color.


Using vertical strokes we draw the bark of a dry tree. You can draw a hollow in it, and branches without leaves.


The woodpecker is a motley bird. With different pressure (sometimes weak, sometimes strong) we stroke its feathers.


Unfold the sheet and remove the carbon paper. The work is ready.

Option 3 (grouse)



Few people are probably lucky enough to see capercaillie displaying and hear their unique, special voice. It is more like a scream, like the tapping of wooden sticks. They say that while singing, these birds do not see or hear anything around them - even if you pick them up with your bare hands. For this they were nicknamed wood grouse.
Wood grouse have a gorgeous mottled tail. It somewhat resembles a turkey's tail.


We draw the frame of the future drawing on the top, bottom and right. We draw wavy or straight lines, slightly retreating from the edge. The capercaillie has a thin and long neck and a large body. Draw an oval in the middle of the sheet, and a small circle higher up.


We connect the head and torso. We draw the tail with two lines. We draw a straight line towards the upper right edge of the sheet, and we connect the straight line with the oval line to the body.


We draw a droplet-like wing and shade it, depicting short feathers, the head, neck and body of the bird. On the head of the capercaillie there is a characteristic, slightly ruffled crest and beard.


Let's take care of the wing. There are long feathers at the edge of the wing. We depict small feathers using different decorative lines


Now the most important decoration is the tail. It has lighter spots.


The last stage is the legs and branches above the bird’s head.


We turn around and see two rivals. They sing selflessly, (walk) without noticing anyone around.

Option 4 (roosters)



A very common subject in art is that of rival roosters. They can be drawn in different ways. Here is one of possible options– fighting cocks attacking each other.

LITERARY APPENDIX

RIDDLES
This is an old friend of ours:
He lives on the roof of the house -
Long-legged, long-nosed,
Long-necked, voiceless
He flies to hunt
For frogs in the swamp. (Stork)

I catch bugs all day
I eat bugs and worms.
I’m not leaving for the winter,
I live under the eaves. (Sparrow)

Wears a gray vest
But the wings are black.
You see, twenty couples are circling
And they shout: - Carr! Carr! Carr! (Crow)

What's happened? What kind of bird?
And the living one smokes in the smoke?! (Jackdaw)

The ambulance is flying,
Mail blue-feathered
And brings news
A hundred versts, two hundred versts,
He's on the roofs, on the balconies
Waltz dances, but with a bow;
Puffs up with feathers
Sideways - moves sideways,
Shakes his feet
Trampling in circles
And he sings and speaks,
The neck glows like a rainbow;
And my girlfriend is sitting here
And he watches the dancing. (Pigeon)

In the summer he follows the plowman,
And in the winter he leaves screaming. (Rook)

The orderly came rushing
In your nesting corner
And he shouted: “Hurray!”
Give it spring! "Porra!" (Rook)

On a pine tree, in a dense forest
A carpenter sits with a chisel:
In a colorful shirt,
In a red cap.
I knock - my head hurts,
And I don’t knock - I’m hungry,
Bird's tongue for prey:
It's sticky and prickly. (Woodpecker)

He looks tall and gray -
Lean surveyor:
Buckwheat field, behind the meadows
He measured everything with steps. (Crane)

She killed her brothers
I didn’t love my mother
I forgot my stepmother
I didn't feed the children. (Cuckoo)

Eating bird
And as if branded:
Horseshoe on the chest
Cleverly drawn. (Partridge)

Comes to us with warmth,
It's been a long journey.
Sculpts a house under the window
Made from grass and clay. (Martin)

He builds a house on a rock.
Isn't it scary to live in it?
Although there is beauty all around,
But such a height!
No, the owner is not afraid
Roll down a steep cliff -
Two mighty wings
At the owner's... (Eagle)

The back is greenish,
The belly is yellowish,
Little black hat
And a strip of scarf. (Tit)
He comes every year
To where the house awaits.
Can sing other people's songs
And yet it has its own voice. (Starling)

Let me be a small bird,
I have friends, a habit -
When the cold starts,
Straight from the north here. (Bullfinch)

Apples on the branches in winter
Collect them quickly!
And suddenly the apples flew up, because it was... (Bullfinches)

I sleep during the day and fly at night.
Am I doing well? (Owl)

He is the forest singer,
And the night soloist;
The neck is shaking
The song is rushing. (Nightingale)

I will visit everyone in a day,
Everything I know will be disheveled! (Magpie)

Lives in the forest
Hoots like a robber;
People are afraid of him
And he is afraid of people. (Owl)

Poultry
The clothes are white and the legs
Wearing red boots.
They will go out of fashion - that’s the problem!
He'll never take them off. (Goose)

Walks important and inflated:
There is a flap hanging on the nose. (Turkey)

Clucking, clucking,
Convenes children
He picks everyone up under his wings. (mother hen)

In the village there is a clock like this,
Not dead, but alive.
They run without a factory.
They are avian. (Rooster)

I wake everyone up on time
At least I don’t wind the clock. (Rooster)

On short legs -
Red shoes. (Duckling)

After going through this lesson on how to draw a bird step by step with a pencil, you will be able in the future, without much difficulty, to draw birds flying in the air.For convenience, everyone new stage drawing is indicated in red.

How to draw a bird step by step with a pencil

All you need to draw a bird is a simple pencil and an eraser. To color the drawing, you will need colored pencils or some other drawing materials, such as felt-tip pens, watercolor paints, markers, etc.

Start drawing a bird flying in the air by drawing the lines of the head. If you are drawing an eagle, then you need to draw a small bend at the tip of the beak.

Next, draw the outline of the eye and separate the bird's beak. There is no need to detail the drawing, because the bird flies high in the sky, and we are unlikely to fully see its eye. Look at the picture below of this drawing stage.

At the next stage, move on to drawing the wings. First draw the wing “looking” down. Make it voluminous.

Draw the second wing “looking” up in the same way.

The next stage is drawing the bird's tail. A flying bird's tail is fully extended, pay attention to this when drawing the tail.

In the lesson how to draw a bird step by step with a pencil All that remains is to draw the lines separating the feathers at the ends of the wings.

Look at the picture below - drawing these lines is not at all difficult. Draw one line first...

Good afternoon, in today's lesson we will learn how to draw a flamingo. This beautiful bird with long thin legs, a long neck and pink plumage.

We continue to draw popular, cute, but not at all kind Angry birds Birds (Angry Birds). We have already drawn them. The pictures are again very simple. Drawing them will take you a maximum of 10 minutes, this includes all the preparations. If you still don’t know what kind of strange birds these are, then I strongly recommend that you type “Angry Birds” into a search engine. “Don’t be afraid...


When drawing a bird, we remember that its body resembles an oval, its head is round or oval, its neck is short or long (like a heron). The paws are located closer to the tail.

Now let's try to draw this bird.

Sparrow

Let's try to draw a little sparrow.

Heron

This is a heron. Let's pay attention to her long neck and legs. The heron's beak is long and looks like the tip of a pencil.

Duck

Ducks can be wild or domestic. Domestic ducks live in a person’s house, while wild ducks fly to warm countries for the winter. When drawing a duck, let's pay attention to its paws. They look like triangles.

Or you can draw such a duck.

Chicken

When drawing poultry, let's pay attention to their color. What color should I paint the chicken? What kind of beak and paws does a chicken have?

Rooster

What color will you paint the rooster? Let's pay attention to his tail: is it different from the tail of a chicken or not?

Chick

Starting to draw a chicken, let's draw two circles that overlap each other. At the same time, we remember that the circle representing the head is much smaller than the circle representing the body. Then we’ll draw in the legs and beak - and the small chicken that looks like a yellow fluff ball is ready. Let's paint it with yellow paint, and red for the legs and beak.

Pigeon

Pigeons live next to humans. They live in a house specially built for them, called a dovecote. Pigeons are very smart birds, they can even carry mail.
