PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT
BEGINNINGS
The body of the egret is a large oval with a smaller oval below it. Draw this first step lightly so you can erase it later. The neck is like a large letter "S," use two lines for this, so you have a back and a front. The head is like a long triangle beside an oval.
DEVELOP FORM
The large body oval is going to be the wing. There are some feathers at the bottom; draw them with curved lines. Erase the top line of the oval and darken the other parts. The belly is covered with long soft feathers; draw them as short, bent lines. The front of the neck has some long soft feathers, so draw them as curved lines too,
DETAILS
The eye is a circle with a white dot in the middle. The beak has a line going across it to divide the top from the bottom. The back has some shadow, and a shadow goes down the center of the back where the two wings meet. The legs point a little backward at the knee. It is easiest to hide his feet in the water or tall grass. The far leg is darker since it is in shadow.
