FAQ

How do I get better at drawing birds?

Learn to see feather groups Studying bird anatomy will help you draw birds more accurately. Feathers grow from specific regions on the bird’s body with bare skin between them. These feather groups define the shape and contours of a bird and the patterns on the feathers relate directly to the underlying feather group.

How do you field sketch a bird?

Start with two circles: a head and a proportionate body. Then move onto the tail, bill, and the edges of the wings to show length and countour. If the bird is being cooperative, you can dig into the biggest feather groupings, including coverts, secondaries, primaries, and face plumes.
