Make a couple of overlapping wings on the body and a triangular shape with a curved base at the opposite vertex of the head.
On the basis of the above guides , create curved wavy lines for the head, breast ,wings and the tail of the dove.
Detail the wings and the tail of the bird by adding feather-lines to it.
Detail the bird further by adding an eye, a line that makes the mouth and digits.
Erase all unnecessary lines.

Draw a shape like a flag with a pointed curved end for the guide to the body of the bird.
Overlap a crescent moon like shape on the above for the wings.
Detail the edges of the wings and the tail by adding feather-curves.
Make detailed curves on the earlier made head, wings and tail.
