    I'm doing some research online to learn how to draw birds and I stumbled across your video. Thank you very much for sharing all of those helpful tips. By simplifying the shapes it's so much easier to see how the bird is put together and draws my eye to what is important.

    This is so helpful! I’m a beginner with watercolors. I’ve struggled to sketch the basic shape of birds for practicing a loose painting style. Birds are great watercolor subjects, but draw…erase…repeat is driving me mad! I’m a grateful new subscriber. 😎

    thank you so much, as about 40 years ago a bird in the nature morte in our art school put an end to my childhood's drawers career, now i'm just happy for being able to solve that "bird problem", yesss

    Thanks for sharing these techniques.
    I was stuck. I'm doing a comic book and it's called "Bird Brains" it's a comedy of errors, like "The Beverly Hillbillies" or "The Gods Must Be Crazy." or "3's Company". The story is all written, and it's complete, but I needed better artwork. I just slam dunked real crude stick figure birds just to get it done. Now I've got a handle on getting acceptable artwork, and I can move ahead and complete the project, thanks to you.
    Much obliged, and thanks again,
    CHEERS!

    It's interesting that this video is basically what you teach in the "New Bird Drawing" video except that you form the bird's body from the body position line.

    The birds near my house are fairly tame and plentiful, you can get into a metre's range without them flying off but they don't stay still for very long, how can I draw when my subject flies off whenever I get into a minute or two of drawing it? Please consider answering my question, thank you.
