how to draw birds clip art

Learn how to draw cute birds clip art using three simple examples that are cute and fun to illustrate. Indeed, I will show you how to draw a cute cartoon eagle, a fun owl and a simple bat (I know, bats are not birds ... but they are still fun to draw). You will learn how to create a simple template that can be applied to draw all three cartoon animals as well as all the characters you can think of. Ready? Let's start with the first subject ... a cool cartoon eagle.

a simple eagle made from basic elements

First, let's draw the head and the body of the cartoon eagle using long curved lines. Make sure that the body is slightly narrower. A white space is also added between both body parts. Next, draw some hair on top of the head of the animal using short curved lines. Eyes are created using dots.

The beak is made from a long triangle with a pointed end. A simple pattern made from triangle is added on the chest. Draw both wings using curved lines and the feet using short straight lines. Complete this lesson by adding colors inside the cartoon eagle as shown below.

drawing an owl using simple details

You can begin by sketching the head and the body of the cartoon owl. In fact, you can use the same technique as the one used for the eagle. Next, draw two ears using small triangles. Two simple hairs are drawn on top of the head. Eyes are made from dots and patches are drawn around both shapes. A small triangle is used to form the beak.

You can continue with the creation of both wings using short curved lines. Four tiny lines are needed to create each leg. A large patch is also added on the stomach of the cartoon owl. Finally, add some brown colors inside the character.

Drawing an adorable cartoon bat

Yeah, I know ... bats are not birds. This character is still a great addition to this collection. Once again, use the same pattern to illustrate the head and the body of the animal. Both eyes are made from two tiny dots. The nose is done using a small triangle. The mouth is made from a curved line.

Next, draw the wings using a nice variety of curved lines. A simple patch is added on the chest. Legs are made from small lines. Finally, add a nice variety of gray colors to complete this lesson.
