There are many types of traditional birds, but I think the one in the drawing is a crane or something like it.

Traditional birds include the: Barn swallow, hummingbird, blue jay and grouse. Other Christmas-themed birds are robins and red winged blackbirds. Simple birds to draw are robins and maybe even magpies.

Question

How do I make sure a drawn bird has good proportions?

Community Answer

Check with a real image of the type of bird you are drawing and compare. Also, just back up and look at the picture, or ask someone else to look at it for you.

Question

How do I draw a bird flying?

Community Answer

Draw the bird's body quite flat, but have the talons closed and the legs up agenst the belly. Look at pictures of flying birds to guide you. Draw the wings either pointing upward, down, or out to the side but stretched out and not next to the bird's body.

Question

How can I draw a robin?

Community Answer

The body needs to be smaller, as well as the beak. They also have different colorings than the bird above. Robins are a common bird; look for one outside, or look up a picture to base a drawing off.
