How To Draw A Hummingbird with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Starting on the right side of your paper, draw a long, thin pointed shape to create a hummingbird bill.
One of the hummingbird’s most distinctive features is its long, pointed beak. Essentially, the beak acts as a protective covering for its tongue, which is what hummingbirds use to collect nectar from a flower.
Step 2
Draw a hummingbird’s crown
The crown is essentially the top of the hummingbird’s head. Outline the top of your hummingbird’s head by simply drawing a curved line starting at its top.
When drawn correctly, the line should look like a downward sloping line, as shown in the illustration.
Don’t forget to add plumes on the surface of the border to make your bird look more realistic!
Step 3
Complete sketch of hummingbird’s head
Create your hummingbird’s chin by drawing a line down starting at the bottom of the beak.
Then, contour your hummingbird’s head by drawing multiple connecting curves at the bottom, forming soft tufts of feathers.
Step 4
Now, Draw the Chest of the Hummingbird
Draw a curved line down starting from below the hummingbird’s chin. Then, repeat the same steps until the contour extends all the way to the belly.
Remember to avoid pressing down too hard with the pencil. This step uses light hand paint to create natural thick to thin strokes. Light strokes will help make your hummingbird’s body feathers look natural.
Step 5
Draw the bottom of the hummingbird’s tail
Draw a curved line starting from the bottom of your hummingbird’s body.
Then add some more curves near the end of the line we drew earlier to create the appearance of feathers.
Step 6
Perfecting the hummingbird’s tail
The tail structure protrudes from the end of the hummingbird’s body. The tail can be created by drawing multiple spikes on top of each other until you achieve the desired shape.
As shown in the illustration, we have drawn a closed tail. However, you can draw a fan or open tail for your hummingbird. Draw the tail however you like. Up to you!
Step 7
Draw one of the hummingbird wings
Draw a straight upward diagonal starting from the hummingbird’s crown. Then draw several feathers side by side on the bottom part of the wing.
Once completed, the shape of the wing will resemble a slender diagonal triangle.
We think a hummingbird’s wings look best when it’s outstretched. So that’s what we drew in the illustration. However, you can completely paint its wings any way you like.
You can either make the wings completely still on the side of the hummingbird’s body or make it slightly upward.
Step 8
Then Draw Another Wing of the Hummingbird
Repeat the previous step on the opposite side.
Since the hummingbird is placed in a tilted position, only the top of its remaining wings will be visible, as shown in the illustration.
Step 9
Add eyes to complete the drawing
Draw a perfect little circle on the top of the head. Then draw a small circle inside the eye.
Then, shade the entire lid except for the small inner circle to make the eyes look like they’re sparkling, making your hummingbird look even cuter!
As you can see, the hummingbird is finally done! All that’s missing is a bunch of colors to make your hummingbird eye-catching!
Now that we’ve successfully drawn a hummingbird, it’s finally time for the most fun part — choosing and coloring your drawing!
Hummingbirds are colorful birds. They come in more than one color and they exist in a range of vibrant color combinations.
The most popular colors they have are blue, red, green and more vibrant colors! This gives you many color options to choose from when choosing a color for your amazing hummingbird drawing!
