How To Draw A Swan

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

It wasn’t until recently that I learnt the differences between a swan drawing, and a drawing of a duck. I came to know of these differences by observing a few tutorials on how to draw a swan, and this helped me to perfect my swan drawings. If you too are confused like I was, and want to bring perfection to your swan drawings, I recommend you do what I did, and study those very tutorials.

You draw a swan the same way you’d draw a duck, but with a few changes. The neck on a swan is much longer, and has this graceful appeal to it. The body of the swan is also bulkier in comparison to the duck. Once you’ve got these differences figured out, you just need to add the small details on the face and the wings, and you’re done with your swan drawing.
