THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION!

I have always thought the seagulls were marvelous creatures. They inhabit shores all over the world. Sometimes they are alone, and sometimes they are in a flock. There is something beautiful in how they seem to drift in the sky as they search for food. They are bold, too, and will come close enough to a person to snatch their food.  So it seemed that sooner or later, I had to create a how-to-draw worksheet for the noble seagull.  

If you have problems downloading the image below, click on the HOW TO PRINT tab, I have listed some common issues and possible solutions you can try. You can also download the PDF below if the image file is too problematic.

PRINTABLE NOTES

The setting is as important as the portrait of the seagull so start with the horizon line, just as you would with any landscape picture.  Start your drawing with a loose and free approach, almost as if you are just going to play around with some ideas. Scribble random circles where the huge clouds might be. Don't even try to put them anywhere on purpose; let the design of the clouds be like an accident. We'll come back to them later. 

The seagull is in the foreground so draw it before you do too much with the background. Start the seagull with a teardrop shape sideways, an oval for the head, a rectangle for the neck, and a thin rectangle for the beak. Dont make the legs just straight; make him doing something like walking; it gives the picture interest. 

Draw a few lines across the water for the crashing wave. When waves roll across the beach, they make foam on edge.  Draw a wavey line where you want the foam edge to be.  

Go around the lines of the shapes that you used to start the seagull and make it look more like a seagull, then erase the extra lines.

There are so many different types of seagulls that you dont need to worry about making yours perfect because somewhere there is one just like yours.

Go around the scribbled circles that started the clouds and make the best parts darker, then erase the others, make sure the sunlight is on one side and the shadow is on the other. 

Keep the sea simple. Use lines going right and left for the waves. The waves far away are small and short; the waves become larger up close where they are longer and larger. 

Use a triangle to add a sailboat; this will give a sense of distance and size. 

For the foam of the crashing wave, start with tiny circles, then go around them and erase the extra lines. There will be shadows underneath the foam and under the part where the wave curls over. 

The water of the wave will have a flow over from the top, and a flow out from the bottom uses fine lines to show this. 

Use lines back and forth to shade the dark areas of the foreground water.

The sand is darker and coarser near the bottom; it is finer and lighter near the water. Take your time and use many dots in horizontal rows to give the sand texture.   

Take your time with shading and texture; this is what will make the picture look real.

BEGINNING
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.
The body is like an oval or a teardrop shape upside down with a slight tilt to the left at the bottom.
Use two lines to position the tail feathers. They taper to a rounded point at the bottom.

Use two lines to form the beginning of the wing. These lines are shaped like the letter "U."

The basic shape of the head and beak are like two triangles, one pointing forward and down and one pointing backward and up.

The eye is in the middle; draw it first, and use it as a reference to outline the black mask around it.

The feet are only pairs of short straight lines around the branch.

Use guidelines to keep the layers of feathers straight.

Erase the extra lines and add details like feathers. Use short, thin lines to give the feathers a soft look around the chest and waist. Use long lines for the feathers on the wing and tail.

If you work in color, this can be a beautiful picture; use red for the bird. Put blues and greens in the background.

I hope you draw a masterpiece.

Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how to draw worksheets, but I do it so that I can give back because I believe that when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you.

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES

BEGINNING
The body is shaped like a cone on its side. Draw it with a curved line for the chest, next a straight horizontal line at the bottom of the curve going back as far as the curve went high; this line should tilt down just slightly. Then draw a line from the top of the curve going down to the tip of the horizontal line.

Draw a circle for the head, but it is inside the top of the cone shape, not above it.

The tail feathers are two straight lines going down.

THE BEAK
The starting point for the beak begins at the top center of the cone shape where the head is.  From there, draw a long, slowly curving line from the head out past the back of the tail. The bottom of the beak starts just below the first line, even with the top of the head going almost straight back. If it curves a little, that is OK since some toucans have a little curve in the bottom. The line that divides the top from the bottom is nearer the bottom by two/thirds and curves downward at the end.

DEVELOPING FORM:
The wing is a curving line from below the chin all the way to the start of the tail.
The feet have two toes going forward and two going back. Start them out like stick figures, then draw around them to give them thickness. There are bumps at the joints.
The eye is high on the head and near the beak. It is a dark circle with a lighter circle around it.
The end of the tail is rounded.

COLORING:
The toucan is mostly black but does not color him black if you can help it use gray if you can, and then use a little black for the shadows and details.
The legs and feet are blue.
There is a white area on the chest like a baby's bib.
Some toucans have a white stripe at the beginning of the tail.
The bill is very colorful. Mostly green, but the tip is red. There is orange on the upper bill and green with some blue on the bottom. You cannot make a mistake because there are many different kinds of toucans, and they all have different colors on their beaks.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

How To Draw A Peacock Feather by MrAdron.

I am glad to share these how-to-draw worksheets for free, and I hope they are useful for you.

Below is a link that may print better on some devices.

Some printers work better with PDF format. To print in PDF, CLICK HERE.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later on. The feather has a shaft (called a rachis); draw this with a graceful curve. The top is the beautiful part. Draw a large teardrop on top of the shaft. Draw a larger circle around the teardrop, do this lightly; it is just a guideline that you will erase later. On both sides of the shaft, lightly draw a guideline to keep the end of the veins the same length.

DEVELOP FORM
The top has four rings. The first is the green one; it is on the outer edge of the teardrop; draw it as a second line inside the teardrop shape. The next ring is brownish; draw it as a small inner ring that almost touches the bottom of the teardrop shape. The light blue is; next, it is inside the brown ring and has an upside-down heart inside. The innermost ring is the purple upside-down heart.

The shaft is thick; draw it as two lines on each side of the first guideline drawn earlier.
The barbs come out of the sides of the shaft. Draw them slowly and carefully; do not let them go past the second set of guidelines. Draw them in pairs on each side of the shaft. Use two lines for each barb, so you have a top and a bottom.
Have some of the barbs pass in front or behind others. Some will go in random directions, but all generally go upward.
The barbs at the top clump together. Outline them first, then draw in the individual barbs. Leave a few spaces between some of the barbs.

FINISHING
Color the feather green except for the eye. It is purple inside, then light blue, then brown, then green.

How To Draw The Dove of Peace. Free Printable Worksheet.

I am delighted to share my how-to-draw the dove of peace drawing lesson and printable worksheet.

Drawing takes time and practice, so if your picture does not turn out perfectly, do not give up; keep on drawing. If you draw every day soon, you will be making beautiful pictures. I have a lot of projects, so come back often and try a few more.

Free How To Draw A Dove Of Peace Worksheet. 

I am happy to create these how-to-draw worksheets for you. I hope you have fun with them and they are helpful. You are welcome to print as many as you like.

Below is a link to a file that may work better if you have problems with the above. 

CLICK HERE for a file in photo format that might print better on some printers.

LESSON NOTES

Keep the image as white as possible. The wings are medium to small for their body size. The tail is medium to large. The beak is small.

BEGINNING
Plan to have the dove at a more dramatic angle, not just straight up and down- which is boring. Draw a line for the axis; this line goes from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail. Next, draw a line across for the leading edge of the wings; draw lightly at this point since you will want to erase some of this later.

DEVELOPING FORM
Use an oval for the body; draw this on the axis line. The top will be at the wing edge and will end at the base of the tail. The tail is like a Chinese fan; the head is a circle that goes over the oval of the body just a little. The wings have a curving line going from the edge to the tail. Draw a line on each side of the body to the wing and round it off for the shoulder.

FEATHERS
Don't draw too many feathers. Eight or nine on each wing and ten or eleven on the tail will be fine. Mark the feathers off for spacing before you draw them, so they are all even and the same size. Make them round on the ends.

DETAILS
The eyes are black and almost round, with just a slight almond shape. The beak is a triangle. Keep the feet simple; a few curved lines will work.

Do not color the dove; just use a little shadowing. Color the sky and leave the dove white.

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.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

FIRST
Start with the line down the middle that makes the quill and shaft, so then you can use it as a reference for everything that follows. Draw the middle line as two lines so you have a top and a bottom. The line on the bottom will be a little thicker to show the shadow.

SECOND
The shape of this feather is oval, though some are triangular. Lightly outline the feather as an oval. Use two lines to draw the oval it will be evener.

THIRD
The feather has barbs, draw them as lines coming off of the middle line (shaft), and going to the edge, that is the outside oval we drew in the second step. Sometimes there are gaps in the barbs so draw the gaps early on, that way you are ready when you shadow it in.

There are downy barbs at the base of the feather. They go wild, so draw them every way, almost like a scribble.

FOURTH
Use shadow technique to show the connection of the barbs to the shaft this is done with short lines starting at the shaft going outward to the edge. Lastly, draw shot lines going from the edge inward toward the shaft. Leave spaces for interest. Use longer and darker lines on the bottom to give the shadow effect.

The robin has two long feathers on the wing. The wing on the far side sticks out a little at the back.
The tail has two long feathers.
Give the tree trunk texture of bark by using short choppy lines.

SHADING
Things that are behind other things could be shaded darker to make the foreground stand out.

The back has a slight hump at the shoulder. Make the body a little wider at the lower half.

HEAD AND BILL
The eye is halfway down and a third of the way forward. The eye is a black dot inside a circle. The bottom of the bill is bigger; draw a line from the tip to below the eye and make sure the bottom beak is half as thin as the top. The nostril is on the top of the beak by the eye. This pelican has a black face; it looks like a wavy patch that goes around the eye and behind the bill. The bill has a little hook at the tip.

WING
The wing starts slightly below the shoulder and curves down to the tail. There are lots of feathers going downward on the wing. Draw the feathers as many lines but not too many; make sure they have a little space between them. There is a dark edge at the bottom of each feather.

FEET
The feet are a triangle with a line going down the middle for the middle toe. The legs have a backward bend like a person's ankle.

PIER AND WATER
The pear is a cylinder; it has an oval top and straight lines going down on the sides. The bottom has a curve that matches the top curve.

The water is a lot of back and forth lines like the letter Z but flatter. The water is darker in the lower area and lighter by the horizon. Make sure the horizon is level and not tilted.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES

BEGINNING
The body is like a skinny teardrop with a little head on top. There are short wing feathers going down from the side. The head has some feathers sticking out of the top like a crown. The beak is long and white. The eye is small and has a white area around it and a black area around the white area. The legs are skinny.

TAIL
The tail feathers take time to do nicely so be ready to work on them for a while. Start with some guidelines to keep things even. Draw these lightly so you can erase later. Make the guidelines like five or six arches going over the body.

DETAILS
On the guidelines draw the eyes of the tail feathers. The eyes look like teardrops with a dot and a smile. Keep them the same size and space them evenly along the guidelines but not too close together. There is a bunch of feathers at the base of the tail, draw these like half circles going up from the body.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Starting with the eyes closest to the body draw the stem of each feather going from each eye to the body, use a line for each side of the stem. On the stems are fine hairs that go out draw these as short light lines.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

Start with an oval for the body. Draw lightly so you can have clean erasure later on.

Each wing is a little longer than the body, (from head to the tip of the tail). The wings make a widespread out letter "M."  Draw the top edge of the wings with a curved line going out and forward and the last third swings back.
The back edge of the wing has the same curves but draw closer together at the end where the edges form a tip-point pointing backward.

There are three rows of feathers one near the top edge, one near the bottom edge and the bottom edge is the third row.

The tail starts where the wings join the body. Seagulls have short tails.

The head comes right off the shoulder and the beak is short. You won't have much of the eye showing since our view is from below.

Color the wingtips black. Leave the seagull as white as you can. Color in the sky around the seagull so it looks whiter.

OUTLINE THE BODY

Start with an outline. Make an oval for the head. The head is about 1/4 of the length of the bird. The body is two lines that curve out and down and form a letter "U"

WINGS
The wings are just suggested by two lines that go down each side of the body; they are curved first in then outward.

GUIDELINES
Use a guideline down the center of the owl to help keep things even. (Draw this lightly so you can erase it later.) Another guideline across the head helps to keep the eyes level with each other and in the middle.

EYES AND FACE
The eyebrows start just outside the middle and point to the ear feathers. The ear feathers are like triangles but fuzzy on the outside edge. The eyes are circles that touch the eyebrows. There is a dark ring around the eyes. They do not need to be perfectly round, but the pupil does, you might want to trace a button or coin to make the pupil round. Leave a little square to be the shiny spot it will make the eyes look glassy.

There are three stripes around the eyes and five on the forehead.

The beak is a thin triangle that starts halfway down the face. There are feathers at the top of the beak so it looks a little fuzzy.

FEATHERS
Draw some guideline for the rows of feathers. There are stripes on the feathers. Draw the feathers like the letter "U" but shade the stripes on the bottom of each feather.

The feathers on the wings tilt down and outward.

The tail has four or five feathers. They are short and rounded.

FEET AND TALONS
The feet are bony. Start them as circles where the talons are and the knuckle joint right behind it. The leg is just two lines disappearing into the feathers. There are four claws but only two or three show, so if they are hard to draw just do two, one each foot. The talons are very long and sharp they have a slight curve.

COLOR
Color the owl a light brown and have the stripes on the feathers to be a darker brown. The stripes on the face and chest are black. The talons and beak are the darkest black. The feet are brownish and orange.

How to Draw an Eagle Flying, Worksheet by MrAdron

If you like this worksheet you might also want to try How to Draw An Eagle's Face.

Begin with a light pencil that you can erase easily. The first two lines will be erased later but will be a guide to start the drawing with.

First, draw a crooked "t," but the cross-bar is twice as long as the body. Imagine the letter "t" is doing a one-handed push up that is what it will look like at first. The long line is for the wings and the short line is for the body.

On the line for the body draw an oval for the body of the eagle, this oval starts at the point where the two lines cross and will go halfway to the bottom of the line.

Draw a large triangle for the tail feathers below the oval on the line. Use the line to keep the triangle and the oval centered on the eagle and on the line.

Draw a circle for the head and two lines to connect the head to the line for the wing.

Draw a sweeping curved line from the bottom of the body, where the tail starts to the tip of the outside edge of the wing to finish the wing shape.

None of these lines need to be perfect, just go over them until you have a nice outline of the eagle.

Add the beak and the eyes.

The feathers take time and if you take your time it will look great. There are about 24 feathers on each wing. Before you draw them make marks where you want them to be. Keep them spaced evenly except for the last (on the tip- farthest away from the body), five or six, these last feathers are more spread out.

There are rows of feathers. If you overdo it the results might not look good.

Add details to the head. The eye has a black center. The beak is a triangle but bent downward at the end.

The feet start at the bottom edge of the wing the tail. The claws look like ugly bony hands.

Color the body dark brown, leave the head white, color the beak and claws yellow.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

Start by drawing lightly so you can make changes as needed and you will want to erase some of the lines as you go along.

The body is like an upside-down teardrop pointed at the bottom and rounded at the top.

The head is like a circle but the back of the head continues down to the back of the bird. The beak is slightly longer than it is thick.

The shoulder starts as a circle just under the head and forward a bit toward the chest. You will erase the back part of the circle later, now it is just to help you put things in the right place.

The tail feathers are just four lines. Two lines for the back and the front they are almost straight but curve out away from each other just a little bit. The other two lines of the tail are curved inward one overlaps the other leaving a little upside down "V" where they touch.

The legs are drawn with short straight lines. The back leg is straight, and the claw is like a skinny diamond. The front leg is shaped like a large backward "S". The front claw looks like the letter "C" drawn with straight lines looping over the branch. Draw it lightly so you can put the branch in.

The eye starts off as an arch, next draw a circle over it but with most of the circle under the arch, (then erase the circle showing above the arch. Draw in the shiny spot before you start to color the eye black, there is a little line of the cheekbone below the eye.

There are white spots on the bird's back, and white on the tip of the wing and on the tip of the tail feathers, mark them off early before you fill in the black areas.

The wings, the tail, and the top of the head are all back. The beak and the legs are orange, everything else is yellow.

Draw a branch for him to sit on, use short choppy lines to give it rough contrast. Make the background blue it will cause the yellow bird to really stand out.

INTRODUCTION
Learning to draw takes time, patience, and practice. If the hummingbird does not turn out the way you hoped, do not get discouraged because you learned some skills, and your next picture will be better. The more you draw, the better you get, so look over my worksheets and print out a few, do one or two every day for a while, and you will be surprised at how good your art will become.

OVERVIEW
Hummingbirds are beautiful, amazing, and very easy to draw. You only need to know a few basic shapes and take your time to make a beautiful picture.

BEGINNING
Start with a 2b pencil and draw lightly so you can erase later. Use a circle for the head and an oval for the body. The oval should be no more than twice the size of the circle you drew for the head. The first wing, the one away from you on the other side, is just a triangle; don't make it too big, no more the size of the oval. The tail is a small triangle.

DETAILS
The beak is two lines, don't make it too fat at first; do it skinny, and you can fatten it up later if it needs.

The rear wing is a line like a fancy number "7" with a foot on the bottom; it should look like an incomplete triangle. Draw eight wing feathers on each wing, starting at the top and working your way down. Try to draw the feathers in one beautiful stroke going out, then down and back.

Erase any extra lines.

Draw a curved line for the eyebrow and then draw the eye underneath it like a half-circle with the top of the eye covered just a little by the eyebrow. Draw the shiny spot in the eye before you color it in, so it doesn't get colored out.

The feet are tucked in, and you only see three toes, use short straight lines to draw them.

Some hummingbirds have brilliant colors. Most are green with white bellies and chins and black wings. Some have red throats or blue.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!
