Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw Simple Birds and a Birds Coloring Page. Stack them on top of each other, with the highest one looking at a pretty flower.
These little birds couldn’t be any simpler. Their 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 is adorable in any book.
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 and creating a drawing that has that feeling can take some practice. Master artists from the dawn of time struggled with it.
Balance is one of the Elements of Art, so this is a great project when students are learning more about Balance. The step by step tutorial you can download below will help them plan their birds so they look like they are easily standing on top of each other, and could stay there all day if need be. That balance is what makes this such a fun drawing to look at.
