A bird is a very beautiful living creature that will undoubtedly attract the attention of your child and induce a craving for drawing in him. There is a lot of information on the Internet about how to draw a bird with a pencil. The method specified in this article is suitable for children 5-11 years old. The article shows how to draw a bird that is very similar to a pigeon. This is not a complicated, but not too simple drawing, so your child will be proud of himself.
The foundation
To get started, designate the beak and lower body of your bird. It is from this part of the drawing that the child will continue to repel, continuing to draw. If you start with wings, as kids like to do, the bird will turn out awkward and unrealistic.
Right wing
The next stage is drawing the line of the right wing. It is much easier for children to draw wavy lines than straight lines, so everything will be simple here. Then draw hook-like lines that will become feathers at the wing of your bird. The main thing here is not to overdo it.
Left wing and tail
Draw the left wing. The principle of drawing is the same as that of the right. Feathers go down from the vertical line. Between the wings and the body of your bird draw a tail. Explain to the child that the tail, body and wings must be proportional to each other.
Done!
The base of your bird is ready. You can draw eyes and a twig in its beak, then this will somehow remind one of Picasso's sketches. Unleash your child - let him paint his work in those colors that he considers necessary. Also for completeness, you can supplement the picture with a landscape.
Through simple manipulations you will get a good picture of a pigeon and understand how to draw birds. The main feature of this particular painted bird is that it flies - this makes it so cute. Explain to the child on the fingers all the above actions, and then he will be extremely surprised and pleased with the results.
