Step 1 – Draw three “rectangular shapes”. First, draw a big “rectangular shape” with a height of 3.7cm & a width of 10.7cm for wood at the bottom, then make the ‘2nd rectangular shape’ with a height of 7cm & width of 6.8cm over the big rectangle for back & belly. Next, make the 3rd rectangle with a height of 3.3cm & a width of 5.2cm for the bird’s head, then draw a “right triangle” with a height of 4.7cm & a diagonal of 5cm for the bird’s beak.

Step 2 – Draw the outline of the bird and the wood on which the bird is sitting, then remove all extra lines.

Step 3 – Next, make bird’s eyes, wings, breast, upper & lower beak, belly & tail, then draw wood on which it’s sitting. Now your bird drawing is completed.

Step 4 – Fill the colours lightly, using Acrylic colour. we have used a mixture of blue & white on the bird’s crown, head & wings. Put yellow colour on belly & brown colour on its beak & wood.
