More about Simple Birds

Learning how to draw simple birds couldn’t be any easier. These bodies are just a tear drop shape, and the tails a cluster of a few feathers. The idea of them sitting on top of each other to smell a flower makes an adorable drawing for all kinds of occasions.

What makes this drawing so pleasant to look at, is that the birds all seem to look very balanced. There is no indication that they are about to topple over.

Artists from the beginning of time have been trying to create a sense of balance with their work, which shows the importance that they feel it has. [Note: Balance is also one of the Principles of Design.]
