Each bird has its own distinctive qualities. Knowing and applying them when drawing, you can achieve complete resemblance to the real representatives of these creatures. For example, a swan has a long neck and a small head, and it also has black feathers at an early age, which turn white over time.
To draw a swan, the following materials are needed:
- colored pencils in blue, blue, yellow, brown and black;
- black marker;
- regular pencil;
- paper;
- eraser.
Drawing steps:
1. The swan has a curved neck. Therefore, for this purpose, we will draw a curl in the form of the number "2". The beginning of the curl will be the head, and the middle will be the neck. Try to lengthen it as much as possible, but do not overdo it.
2. Now draw a line from the beginning of the curl in the figure. It should completely repeat the bends of the first curl, however, you should keep a distance between them! A beautiful graceful neck is ready. Let's move on to the body. In the middle of the head, draw the bird's eye in the form of a small circle.
3. From arcuate lines draw the silhouettes of the torso. Draw a small line from the eye down at an angle to further create the beak.
4. We pass to the rightmost corner of the picture and depict the bird's feathers on the wings and on the tail.
5. Then we switch to the head and begin to draw it in detail. We draw an eye. Let's add it with another circle and cilia. From the line drawn from the eye, draw curved segments on both sides and get the bird's beak.
6. In the lower part of the body under the wing, draw a swan's foot.
7. We begin to outline the entire drawing in stages with a black marker. Let's add them to small details on the wing in the form of feathers of different sizes. Let's finish the water, a swan swims in it. We will certainly clarify the silhouette of the drawing and, if necessary, correct it.
8. Take a black pencil. Since the swan is white, then, to give the drawing volume, we make strokes with light movements and only near the contour.
9. Color the bird's beak and paw with a yellow pencil. Add strokes with an orange pencil.
10. With blue pencils of different tones we paint a pond under a swan.

Hello comrades!
For a long time I was already going to take up the topic “how to draw a swan”, but I still couldn’t decide: even when the swan was sculpted (), it became noticeable that the topic was not easy and could not be overcome with a swoop.
However, this morning my relatives and friends started watching the cartoon "The Ugly Duckling", and I decided that this was a sign! I plucked up the same determination: that's it! - draw a swan. I found a lot of photos on the Internet and - go ahead. It's not a trick to draw, the trick is to draw your own swan later. While I was peering at the photographs of swans, the strongest impression I received was not even from the amazing majestic grace, but from the wondrous purity of the snow-white plumage. Small pictures on the monitor are amazing, but what then are they, these beautiful birds, alive!
So, I draw a swan from a photo, first with a pencil.
What immediately catches your eye: a large body, a very large, long, graceful neck, wings that the swan does not fold on its back, but somehow holds like sails (even strange, but they seem to be comfortable). I note that the main difficulty for me is to depict the head in such a way that it is a swan, and not a goose (read about the appearance of a goose ""). They also look great, but today it is not our task.
Actually, you should start drawing from the largest, that is, from the torso, but I can't wait to take on the swan's neck - if it turns out well, the rest will definitely follow
Fine! The bend succeeded. Now the head. I will not tell you in detail - read "How to draw a swan's head." And I continue like this:
Well, half the work is done - it’s definitely not a goose in the picture, the graceful neck and proud head are a success.
Now we need to depict the wings raised by sails. I'll start like this:
And show plumage. It is clear that such a large bird also has corresponding feathers.
Let's add a tail that looks like the stern of a ship and decorate the picture with a hint of reflection in the water:
Well, we won’t really color the white swan, just bring a little shadow to further emphasize the dazzling whiteness of the plumage:
And the second lesson - how to draw a swan, now in flight.
Draw a flying swan step by step
If you read lesson K, then you already understand that depicting a flight is a very difficult task. Yes. And we will not indulge in deliberate simplification to make the task easier. No, you can’t argue against the truth and we learn to overcome difficulties. So the swan is flying.
Let's make a sketch with a pencil and evaluate the perspectives:
As you can see, the wings are not only cunningly curved, but also visible to us at a complex angle. But nothing, the eyes are afraid, the hands are doing. Let's start with the body. It is oval and in flight is not located horizontally, but also at an angle. The neck is extended completely straight forward:
Let's draw the head and pursed paws.
That's it, it's time to take the wings:
Well, it turned out very similar. But here I honestly admit: if a swimming swan can be drawn from memory, then it will be possible to master the image of a swan in flight not from the first and not from the fifth time - it will be necessary to train a lot.

A simple pencil example
Like the previous one, this drawing is very beautiful, but the drawing method is a little simpler. Be sure to prepare an eraser, as now we will learn how to draw a swan with a pencil.
The first thing we need to do is draw a diagram of the body and head of our future bird. Don't press too hard on the pencil as some of these lines will need to be erased in the future.
Based on our auxiliary drawing, let's draw a head with eyes and a beak and a long neck.
Now let's work on the body. From below it is quite smooth, and from above it is steeper, a small hump is created. The end of the body on the left side is connected by a sharp tip.
We take an eraser and erase everything superfluous, as in the example below.
The final step will be the drawing of the feathers and wings of our swan. As well as waves emanating from his body.
Example for a child
A very, very simple drawing example that is perfect for a child. So, we teach children to draw swans.

On the upper tip, paint on the beak and eye.
The final touch will be the neck and wing. You can also add more waves and color the resulting drawing.
The easy way
We have come to a simple method that will help us learn how to draw a swan in a lake. For this method, a marker or a regular pen is suitable for us.
Let's start drawing from the head. With a few simple lines you should get something that looks like the image below.
As in the previous examples, carefully print the English letter "S".
Do not forget that the lines must be smooth and neat. If you don't succeed the first time, don't worry. You can always draw everything over again.
Well, at the very end, we work with small details, namely, we draw the eye, plumage and waves from the lake.
Couples in love

First we need to get a heart like in the picture below. The heads of the two birds connect wonderfully and their necks form the outline of a heart.
Add to our heart torso on the left and on the other side.

We take a felt-tip pen and circle our sketch.
The final step in drawing our couple will be the study of small details and the addition of a water surface.
