In this lesson, we will use the step-by-step method to draw a bullfinch bird. This tutorial helps you draw a realistic-looking bird with ease. You will learn easy steps of drawing a bullfinch properly and learn the basic technique for drawing any birds.
Step 1
Where do we begin? Of course, you should start with basic outline and then step by step add details. Draw three circles of different sizes to help you with the basic outline of a bird's body and head.
Step 2
Now you should draw two curved lines to the body. Draw initial lines for the paws and tail of a bird. All you need for this step - draw the small beak of a bird.
Step 3
Using the outline from the first stage, work on defining the initial contours of the head and body. Draw a small contour of the bird's wing. The following step will help you sketch the bird more precisely.
Step 4
Now you should draw an approximate shape of the head, wings, and tail. It is easy to draw an eye and bird's beak. Then draw paws. Leave the lower part of the feet to finish at next stage.
Step 5
Erase all the extra lines that are no longer needed to support the shape of your bullfinch. Draw the lower part of the feet in detail. Draw a separation line between the neck and the lower body of the bird. Let's spend some time on the bird's feathers. As a next step, shade in your bird using #2 pencil.
Step 6
Now we have almost completed the lesson of drawing a bird. How about taking a picture of a bullfinch with black-and-white feathers? Then try to recreate the feather pattern using #2 pencil. It is possible to paint a bird with watercolor or crayons.
Step 7
As a final step, you just need to color the bird. Coloring will make your drawing more fun. Look, it's as if the bullfinch came to life!
