Dear friends, good afternoon.

Situations happen to us when children ask you for something, but you don’t know how to do it, so you have to look, find, learn.

So my children asked me to teach them how to draw a swan. This most beautiful and graceful bird is always of interest, and many want to understand how to draw it.

I also tried to draw a swan and offer you a master class.

Maybe my master class will be useful to some of you.

Necessary materials:

Paper

simple pencil

Multi-colored pencils, paints and markers

We make light strokes with a pencil, thus, we outline the outlines of the bird's head.

The swan is a graceful bird, so the width of the neck should match the head.

In no case should it be made too wide or too narrow.

Draw a wing to the swan's neck.

We draw the tail.

We denote water with thin lines.

Let's draw a beak to the head. We draw the eye and the mask that connects the beak and the eye.

We draw feathers on the tail and wing of the swan.

To finish the drawing and our bird shone in all its glory, you need to color it with colored pencils or felt-tip pens. In my case, I used felt-tip pens and a simple pencil.

We circle the swan around the office with a black felt-tip pen, while making notches.

We also color the eye of the swan and the mask with a black felt-tip pen so that the eye stands out, we left a small space without coloring.

To color the swan's beak, use an orange felt-tip pen.

On the feathers of the swan in some places we apply strokes with a simple pencil.

Color the water with a blue marker.

When coloring a swan, you can use watercolors or gouache.

Dear friends, thank you for your attention and support!

Swans (lat. Cygnus) - a genus of birds of the anseriformes order, of the duck family.

The modern name of the bird is completely consonant with the Old Slavonic word "swan". The root leb is related to the Latin alb, meaning "white", so the bird got its name from its white plumage.

Appearance

The swan is the largest waterfowl. Adult individuals have a body length of 1.2 to 1.8 m, with a weight of 6 to 12 kg. The span of strong and wide wings can reach 2-2.5 m.

The long, graceful neck in some species is held vertically, in others it is curved with the letter S. The head is small, ends in a strong beak, red, black or yellow. Some species are endowed with a knobby growth at the base of the beak.

The dense, elongated body ends in a short tail, above which is a special gland that secretes fat to lubricate the plumage. Short, black, webbed feet are carried closer to the tail, which allows the swan to easily maneuver in the water.

Due to the thick downy layer, the plumage is lush and soft. With the exception of the black and black-necked swan, the color of the birds is monochromatic, white.

Swans are endowed with powerful flying muscles that allow them to cover great distances when flying south. Birds are considered champions in flight altitude: according to the testimonies of pilots, the whooper swan was noticed at an altitude of over 8 km.

Range and habitat features

Swans are widespread in Eurasia, on both American continents, as well as in Australia. Southern species lead a sedentary lifestyle, northern species winter in Asia and the Mediterranean countries.

Depending on the range, swans inhabit the shores of various water bodies: rivers, lakes, ponds, tropical swamps, and also live in sea lagoons and estuaries.

Nutrition and reproduction

The main food of the birds is obtained by lowering the neck deep into the water, but often graze on the shore. The plant diet consists of herbs, seeds, roots of aquatic plants, leaves of trees growing near water.

From animal food, they eat everything that can be found in shallow water: small fish, worms, insects and their larvae, shells, mollusks and frogs.

The mating season for northern species falls at the beginning of spring and begins a week after the migration. Southern species breed during the rainy season.

Swans form a pair, and all their lives they remain faithful to their soul mate. Nests, up to 3 m in diameter, are built from grass and reeds. The clutch contains 3-8 eggs, incubation lasts about 40 days. All this time, the male guards the nest and its territory.

Swan chicks dry off using their mother's back.

In all species of swans, chicks are born covered with gray fluff and from the first days of life are able to independently forage under the supervision of their parents. After the first molt, feathers appear, and the chicks begin to fly.

The life expectancy of a swan is 25-30 years.

types of swans

The modern classification includes only 7 species of swans.

Black swan (lat. Cygnus atratus) - the body of an adult individual reaches a length of 110-140 cm, with a weight of 4-8 kg. Due to the presence of 31 cervical vertebrae, the species has the longest neck among swans. The edges of the wings are covered with curly feathers.

The black swan lives in Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. It prefers small fresh water bodies and leads a sedentary lifestyle, flying no further than 100 km from the place of birth.

Black-necked swan (lat. Cygnus melancoryphus) - representatives of the species grow up to 110-140 cm and have a body weight of 3.5-6.5 kg, while males are much larger than females. The neck and head are painted black, the body is snow-white. The gray beak has a characteristic red outgrowth at the base.

The motherland of the mute swan is considered to be the northern part of Europe and Asia. The species was introduced to Australia and the American continents, where it still exists safely.

Trumpeter swan (lat. Cygnus buccinator) - the special structure of the larynx and trachea allows the swan to make characteristic trumpet sounds. The body length is 150-180 cm, and the weight is 10-12 kg. Outwardly similar to the whooper swan, but has a completely black beak.

Representatives of the species resemble a whooper swan, are distinguished by a short neck and orange stripes on a black beak.

The range covers the most remote areas of the North American tundra and forest tundra. Winters are spent off the coast of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. In Russia, they are found in Chukotka, Anadyr and the Commander Archipelago.

The eastern colony inhabits the tundra zone from the Lena River to the north of Chukotka, wintering in Japan, China and Korea.

Whooper swan (lat. Cygnus cygnus) - large individuals have a body weight of up to 10 kg, females and males practically do not differ in appearance. The neck is held straight, the white color is acquired at 3 years of age. The species is distinguished by a bright yellow beak with a black tip.

Nesting populations pass in the north through the Scandinavian countries to Chukotka and Sakhalin. The southern part of the population lives in the water bodies of Mongolia and Japan. Winter is spent on the Mediterranean, Caspian Seas, in China, India and Australia.

Individual colonies remain to winter in the flowing and partially freezing water bodies of Eurasia.

In many cultures, the graceful bird symbolizes marital fidelity, grace, beauty, and nobility. Since ancient times, the swan has been considered an impregnable and proud bird, worthy of reverence and admiration: for the Yakuts, the swan is a totem animal, the Ainu believed that man descended from the swan.
