Step 1
In the first step of the tutorial on how to draw a flying bird, we will use a pencil to draw some rough outlines for the bird.
For now, the lines and shapes will be pretty basic, as we’ll be adding more details in the later steps of this tutorial. For the sketch now, you will draw the head, body, wings and tail.
Then, once you have all these pencil outlines, you can use the pen to draw on the bird’s face and beak.
While doing this, you can also draw some elements like eyes and mouth on the beak. Once you’re happy with how it looks, you’re ready for step 2!
Step 2
Start drawing some more pen details
The second part of your drawing of the bird in flight will see you add some pen line detail to your bird.
For this part we will focus on some lines on the wings and some bodies. Now, you can take a look at the bird’s bottom line.
You can also go over the bird’s tail while adding some finer details as you go along.
Step 3
Start adding feather details to the wings
In this third part of our tutorial on how to draw a flying bird, we will finalize the outline of the bird.
For the most part, you’ll focus on the feather tips of the wings. To do this, you can use some sharp jagged lines along the wings. This will make it look like beautiful wings and feathers!
Step 4
Draw some more details inside the wings
Your sketch of the bird in flight is pretty much done now, so in the next few steps we’ll draw some details on the inside of the wings.
Using the pencil lines that you copied in step 1, carefully draw some sharp feather lines along the inner line of the wing.
This will really help give the image some texture. Once you’ve drawn it, you’re ready for the final details in the next step.
Step 5
Finalize the final details of your flying bird drawing
This step of our how to draw a flying bird tutorial will be about adding some final details to really complete it.
These details will mainly appear on the wings, you can add more feather details to it.
You can then add any final pen lines that you may have missed from the previous steps.
Once you have drawn all the pen details that you want for your image, you can erase all the pencil lines from the first step because you won’t need them anymore.
When you erase, use caution as the ink can take a while to dry completely! Once all these details have been added, you can also add any other elements or details you want.
Some ideas you could include is having some other bird fly with this one. You can also draw a lovely background to really complete it in a unique way!
By drawing the background, you can tell what kind of weather or terrain conditions this bird is flying through.
You can also look up different landscape paintings for inspiration for some backgrounds that you can draw on!
Step 6
Complete your flying bird painting with some colors
Now that you’ve finished your flying bird painting, it’s time to relax with some fun coloring to really finish it off! In our example, we use blue, gray, and yellow to color the bird.
