Draw Flying Birds

You can learn how to draw birds flying following this simple tutorial. It will show you how to draw three different positions of flying birds.

Steps

  1. Draw three simple ovals with one line inside of each oval. They should be tilted at different angles and slightly different sizes, but indistinguishably in a group.
  2. Add small circles. These will serve as the birds' heads. Draw ovals to mark where the wings will go.
  3. Draw semicircles and triangles as shown. You can already see birds in the shapes here. Connect those geometrical shapes and erase lines that you don't need anymore.
  4. Add shapes on the edges of the wings to suggest feathers. Add eyes and beaks, then erase unnecessary lines, and outline the image.
  5. Color the image. Play around with what you want to do with your birds; you can make them brightly colored or dark or simply keep them white. That part is up to you. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
  • If you want to use markers/watercolors to color your drawing, use paper that is relatively thick and line over your pencil more darkly before doing so.
  • Try not to make the tail too big
  • Use a ruler.
