How to Draw a Cerulean Warbler - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: First, draw the head with a short, thin beak in the middle.
Step 2: Bring your warbler to life by adding an eye and two lines to the beak. Draw a slightly curved line beneath the eye.
Step 3: Next, draw the body by making a short line for the back of your bird and a rounded line for the belly of your bird. For the feathers of the bird add small details like the ones seen in the picture.
Step 4: The tail of the Cerulean warbler is simple. Draw a line that arches down and almost touches the line you drew for the bird's belly. Add one line in the middle of the tail to create the separation of its feathers.
Step 5: Now it's time to draw your warbler's wing. Use a slightly curved line for the main shape of the wing. Create the wing's feathers by drawing U shapes in various sizes within the wing.
Step 6: The last step is to draw the thin legs and feet of the warbler. Draw two straight lines from beneath your bird's belly and add three toes to each leg. Have the feet wrap around a simple branch made of two straight lines and your Cerulean warbler drawing will be complete.
