How to Draw Bird: Step-by-Step for Kids

Get your pencil ready! Follow these easy steps and you'll have an amazing Bird drawing in no time.

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black marker (optional, for outlines)
  • Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Bird

Step 1: Start with Basic Shapes

Lightly sketch the basic shapes that make up the Bird's body — usually an oval for the body and a circle for the head. Position the body in the centre of your page.

Step 2: Add the Head

Draw the Bird's head connected to the body. Decide whether the Bird is looking forward, to the side, or slightly upward — the head angle sets the whole personality.

Step 3: Draw the Eyes and Nose

Add the facial features. Draw the eyes as round or oval shapes with a smaller pupil inside. Add the nose shape — this varies a lot between different animals.

Step 4: Add the Mouth

Draw the mouth appropriate for the Bird. Keep it simple — a curved line is often enough to give an expression.

Step 5: Draw the Ears or Head Features

Add the Bird's distinctive head features — ears, horns, antlers, crest, or whatever makes this animal recognisable.

Step 6: Add the Legs and Feet

Draw the legs below the body. Consider how the Bird moves — running animals have longer legs, while stocky animals have shorter, wider legs. Add the feet or paws.

Step 7: Add the Tail and Body Details

Draw the tail and any markings on the body — stripes, spots, patches, or colour divisions. These details make your Bird look specific and real.

Step 8: Add Texture and Shading

Use short, light pencil strokes to suggest fur, scales, or feathers. Add shading on the underside of the body to make it look three-dimensional.

Colouring Your Bird

Look up the real colours of a Bird for reference. Most animals have a lighter belly and a darker back — use two or three shades of the main colour to show this.

Tips from Parikshet

  • Study the proportions of a real Bird — are the legs long or short? Is the head big or small compared to the body?
  • The eyes are the most expressive part — take your time to get them right, especially the highlight dot that makes them look alive.
  • Practice makes perfect — try drawing it again tomorrow!
