PRINTABLE NOTES.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.  Draw a vertical guideline up and down for the body. on the line in the top half draw a skinny oval. The head is an oval going sideways.  The wings go outward, like a flattened "X." Draw guidelines first.  The wings together are wider than the body is long; if you measure the body it would be shorter than the wings.

DEVELOPING FORM
The wings are shaped like long narrow ovals that overlap the "X" shaped lines. The top lines of the wings curve slightly and gracefully with a double curve.

The bottom of the wings has sweeping curves.

The head has two circle shapes like eyes. and a little round part for the mouth.

The long skinny part has eight sections.

FINISHING TOUCHES
The wings have lines going inside.
There are four dots on the back.
There are lines going down the back.
There are four legs in the top part. It looks like they come out near the neck.
There are two long legs but sometimes you do not see them so we didn't draw them in.
