To draw a bird flying, we start with the body and the head. Afterward, we take extra care while working on the eyes. The details on the feathers are also important. The rest is just making sure that the coloring is neat and clean, and we are done.

Start with a curve

Draw a flat ‘V’ like curve on the top right side of the paper.

Add some hair

On the right end of the curve, draw some hair in the shape of ‘M’.

Now for the lower part

Draw another curve ‘W’ shape under the upper part.

Time for the tail

The tail is drawn on the left side, similar to the shape of our fingers.

Draw the eyes

Use a light pencil to draw a pair of circular eyes.

Add a beak

Under the eyes, draw the top portion of the beak.

Keep going

Draw the lower portion of the beak in a tilted ‘V’ shape.

Open the wings

Using a light pencil, gently draw the left wing.

Repeat the process

Draw another wing for the left side of the bird.

Final touches

Use a dark pencil to darken the outline.

Get ready to color

Use some light colors to color the bird and finish it. Well done!
