birds

step 1 of 5

First you need to figure out where you want to place the head and the body, then add some lines on where some details will go.

step 2 of 5

Keep adding detail slowly, study the picture to ensure you are keeping it in proportion and it is becoming the actual bird you are intending to draw.

step 3 of 5

slowly filling in detail and the bird is becoming more fully developed.

step 4 of 5

while still adding detail, you can see that I am also adding shading, using line and cross hatch in places

step 5 of 5

the Heron is basically done, need to go over it with charcoal, alter the shading some do some smoothing and light shading with a tortillon.
