Step by step drawing a swan

Let’s start simple: draw a semicircle at the bottom of your sheet. But leave some space for some water. Also add an oval, which will later become the swan’s head.
Now add a curved neck and a slanted “U” for the wings. At the bottom, draw a wavy line for the water – the exact shape of the wave doesn’t matter, but try not to make it too curvy. The head is complemented by an eye, pay close attention to its position!
Now give the neck some more volume: simply draw two lines at an equal distance around the neck line. A small “U” becomes the swan’s beak. Also, add wings and tail feathers.
Now it’s time to erase some guidelines. Additionally, add details like feathers and further refine the face.
Trace everything with a black fineliner and erase the pencil lines (Caution: let the drawing dry briefly first!) Then you can color your drawing as you like.

Learn to Draw a Dolphin

Dive into Fun: Learn to Draw Dolphins!

Exploring the world of drawing dolphins is like diving into a magical underwater adventure! Dolphins are super cool creatures with sleek bodies and friendly smiles, just like in your favorite storybooks.

Imagine picking up your crayons or pencils and bringing these amazing animals to life on paper! With each stroke, you’ll discover how to capture the dolphin’s playful spirit and graceful movements.

As you draw, you’ll learn all about the special features that make dolphins so unique, from their curved fins to their shiny, smooth skin. And hey, did you know that dolphins love to jump and play in the waves? You can show that in your drawing too!

Drawing dolphins isn’t just about making pretty pictures. It’s a chance to explore your imagination and express yourself in a fun and colorful way. So grab your art supplies and get ready for an ocean of creativity and joy as you learn to draw your very own dolphins!

Here’s how to draw a dolphin:

Before you begin, you can see roughly how the picture should look at the end. We’ve drawn a dolphin leaping out of the water into the air. The same drawing works for a dolphin underwater too. Then you just need to draw the background slightly differently. Is the dolphin your first project from “Learn to Draw Online”? Then it’s best to check out our guide beforehand.

But now let’s get started! For your dolphin drawing, start with a curved line. It should look a bit like a half-circle. Then add the snout and dorsal fin. The fin is roughly in the middle of the curved line. Now we’re at step three of the drawing guide. Here you draw the mouth – by the way, a smile suits the dolphin very well. Also, close the body in this step. Next, place the eye a little behind the corner of the mouth. Finally, the dolphin just needs its tail fin and two pelvic fins. The drawing is done! And coloring isn’t difficult either: dolphins are usually blue-gray. Their smooth bodies shine when they leap out of the water. You can paint a few bright highlights on the top of the dolphin for this.

How do you like your own dolphin drawing? Soon we’ll offer you a few more marine creatures as drawing tutorials, so stay tuned and come back soon!

Learn how to draw a blackbird

The Blackbird

We want to draw a blackbird. Because right now, between winter and spring, we often encounter it. With its black plumage and orange beak, it stands out particularly well from the landscape. It often perches in the branches and sings one of its beautiful songs, which make you forget every winter depression. It feels like spring! Find out here how you can bring a little bit of this spring joy onto your sheet of paper. And don’t forget: feeding birds is meaningful all year round, your garden birds will thank you very much. By the way, here we are drawing a male blackbird – the females are rather brown and less conspicuous.

Learning to draw a blackbird – Stroke by stroke

As always, remember to look at this drawing guide step by step before you start drawing. How much space will you need on your picture approximately? Get your pencil and eraser ready and let’s get started!

We start with a slightly oval circle. It can be a bit rounder or more oval, it doesn’t matter. In the second step, wings, upper head, and legs are added. Make sure to draw the lines for the legs not straight down, but slightly diagonally to the left. Then, the head, beak, and body shape are refined further, tail feathers, eyes, and feet are added. Characteristic for blackbirds is the yellow frame around their dark eyes, so make sure not to leave that out. On the wings, you can indicate the primary feathers with a few extra lines. And for some additional details, it’s nice to have small claws on the tips of the feet, as the blackbird needs them to grip.

Once your drawing is finished, you can trace all the “important” lines with a black felt-tip pen or fineliner. Some lines were guidelines, we don’t need them anymore now.

When coloring, make sure not to paint the entire body completely black, as beautiful details will be lost. It’s nice to paint the edges of the body and feathers with a lighter shade, e.g. blue or gray. The rest can be deep black! Now add an orange beak and a yellow eye ring, and you’re done. Everyone will recognize your drawing as a blackbird!
