Step 1
For this phoenix drawing tutorial, we’ll start with the phoenix’s head. There will be a curve for the top of the head and three sharp and fluffy feathers on the back of the head.
You can then use a pointed, slightly curved triangle to make the phoenix beak. The phoenix’s neck will also be quite long from the head down.
We’ll be connecting it to the rest of the body in the next few steps, so let’s move on to the next step!
Step 2
Your phoenix drawing will have long wings and curve upwards in a spectacular way. The upper part of the left wing will be connected to the lower part of the neck.
The wings will then curl up and you can use a series of sharp curves to form the feathers of the wing.
It will then curve back to the body so that it is thinnest at the base of the wing.
Once you’ve finished drawing the wings, you can also use another curved line for the phoenix’s chest.
Step 3
You’ve already completed one wing in this phoenix drawing tutorial, so you should have no problem drawing a second one!
This wing will be on the right hand side of the phoenix, and it will have a very similar structure to the other wing, just duplicated. With both wings looking great, go ahead!
Step 4
One of the most recognizable features of the phoenix is its long, drooping tail. This wouldn’t be a complete tutorial without it, so we’re adding one to your phoenix drawing now.
The front of the tail will connect to the bottom of the chest, while the back of it will connect to the underside of the right arm.
Like the wings, this tail will have long, sharp feathers at the end that extend in different directions.
Then, once the tail contour is complete, you can use some of the lines inside the wings to create some more feather detail.
Step 5
In this step of the phoenix tutorial, we’ll add some detail on and around the wings.
To do this, you can use several rows of sharp, jagged lines along the inner edge of the wing. This will help provide some more fiery wing detail.
After you’ve added those details, you can also draw some small sharp shapes around the tip of the wing. This is going to be part of a series of fascinating details that we will finalize in the last few steps.
Step 6
Before we bring in some bright and fiery colors to your phoenix drawing in the final step, we have some final details to add.
To do this, simply draw some sharper shapes like you drew in the previous step around the tips of the wings. You can also add some around the tail, as seen in the reference image.
This is the step where you can also get creative with these details if you want! You can add more of these shapes to create an even more fiery phoenix.
Before continuing, you can also add any additional details you want. Perhaps you could draw a fire background or have a trail of fire behind the phoenix.
These are just a few of the many ideas you can come up with, so how would you complete this image?
Step 7
Now that your phoenix is fully drawn and you’ve added any additional details and background elements, you can have fun coloring your phoenix!
The phoenix is associated with fire, so this painting will be especially relevant with a variety of reds, yellows and oranges.
When coloring this phoenix, I also thought that artistic mediums that allow for some bright and vibrant colors would go perfectly with it.
