Drawing Birds part 1by `majnouna

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

Continued here:

This tutorial (all 3 parts) in book form: [link]
Full tutorial list: [link]

I make references at times to human anatomy, so if you're not familiar with it drop by my earlier tutorial Big Guide to Drawing the Body [link] (it can't hurt to look at Basic Animal Anatomy [link] as well).

I'll repeat here some advice I gave with the previous tutorials:
Use the above guide as a supplement to gesture drawing. Reading and memorizing all this won't help you as much as sketching from life; this guide simply provides the understanding that will make your sketching a learning experience rather than a random process. So, carry a sketchbook around and gesture-draw birds in the park, or from TV.

Also, though in these 2 parts I tried to give all the basic info one needed, personal research is invaluable. If you want to really draw a specific bird, you need to look for pictures of it, movies as well if possible, soak them up, sketch from them, until the way the bird stands and moves become instinctive to you.

NO part of this tutorial may be reproduced, so don't even ask!! if you find it helpful and want to share it, simply link to it.

You're one of the best tutorial-makers on deviantart, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

`majnouna Apr 30, 2013 Professional General Artist

Aww, thank you!

I must say thank you! I can reference plenty of pictures off of the internet, but it's very helpful to have someone break down details like this. These How-To you've made a real asset to figuring out some of those anatomy issues everyone is bound to run into at one time or another

`majnouna Mar 25, 2013 Professional General Artist

I'm very glad it helps!

~64thYume Mar 20, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

~Arkeeze Mar 17, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I MUST ask, how long did this take? o.o

`majnouna Mar 18, 2013 Professional General Artist

LONG. I don't remember exactly now, but my tuts take from weeks to months.

~Arkeeze Mar 18, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Well, you do an amazing job, the design and placing of the pictures is great! ^-^

`majnouna Mar 21, 2013 Professional General Artist
