How to draw a bird flying - a free bird flying drawing guide

What can we use instead of crayons or an eraser if we don't have them?

If you don't have crayons to "color your bird and the sky," use colored pencils, washable markers, or watercolors, and if you lack an eraser, redraw lightly or use a piece of removable tape to lift stray pencil marks.

My paper keeps moving and my wings look uneven—how can I fix that?

Tape the paper to the flat surface as the instructions say, sketch the small oval and circle with light pencil strokes as guides, adjust the long curved leading-edge line for the wing angle, then erase extra sketch lines before darkening the main outlines.

How can I change this activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children pre-draw the small oval body and circle head and have them add the tiny triangle beak and color with crayons, while older kids can refine wing curves, add smaller distant wing shapes and detailed tail feathers, and practice shading lightly under the belly before darkening outlines.

How can we make the drawing more creative or shareable?

Enhance your picture by adding a sky background, drawing multiple birds with smaller wing shapes for depth, experimenting with feather patterns and shading under the belly and motion lines near the wing tips, then photograph and share your finished drawing on DIY.org.
