Cartoon bird drawing in just 6 Easy Steps!
Throughout the history of animation, certain animals have been featured as cartoon characters more than others.
Some examples of these animals would be dogs, cats and of course birds.
How to Draw A Cartoon Bird Lets Get Started!
Start off by drawing the beak using some curved lined shapes with sharp points at the ends of them.
There will be some round lines around the eyes that we will be drawing in a future step.
Also, be sure to add three small rounded lines at the top of the head for added cuteness!
The eyes will be big and round to, you guessed it, make the bird look even cuter!
Once the eyes are drawn, we shall next add some wings to it.
However, there are also a few other ways that you could depict the feathers.
You would need to decide on the color scheme you would like for the bird.
Lets say for the sake of argument that you would like the bird to have a blue color scheme.
Then, you could use light and dark blue construction paper and cut out lots of feather shapes.
Next, you could make layers of the colors alternating between them.
This would create the effect of layered feathers as you would see on a real bird.
It also functions as a really nice way to add some more dynamic color to the drawing.
It would take more work, but the end result would be worth it!
To plan it, you could draw out the feather shapes with a light pencil.
Due to the position of the bird, this feathery base was unseen on the other leg.
Otherwise, the leg and foot will look very similar to the other one.
We shall then move on to some final details and elements in the next step!
you might use some more long, thin and curved shapes for the tail feathers.
These feathers will look rather similar to the feathers that you drew at the ends of the wings previously.
Once this tail is added, you might also add some details of your own!
One fun idea would be to draw a background for this adorable bird.
Maybe you could also take what you have learned and design a friend for it!
We used a contrasting set of blues and yellows to create a bright and cheery look for the bird.
You could go for some painterly mediums like acrylics and watercolors or maybe go for colored markers and pencils.
Which colors and mediums do you feel would best suit this image?
You could also incorporate some other bird species that you like!
The question now is which animals or additional bird species would you like to add to the image?
This character could be drawn in a similarly simple cartoon style to the bird, too.
Who would you like to add to the picture?
This would be a great way to make this lovely picture even more complete!
You would also have so many options for different background configs you could use.
The cartoon bird could be in a garden, perhaps in a bird bath.
Or, it could be posed in front of a famous landmark or structure.
These are just two ideas, but how else could you create a background for this picture?
