Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a circle near the top left. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly birds.
One long curve from the circle, down round the tummy and back up to the circle.
A pointy beak on the left, like a little arrow. Then one round eye.
A leaf shape on the side of the tummy. Keep it inside the body line.
A wide fan out of the back, with three soft points on the end.
Two thin legs, a branch to stand on, and one little berry. Now this bird is yours.
Now draw a bird with feathers no bird has ever had.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
