How to draw a swallow?

Everyone must have seen a swallow at least once in their lives. About how to draw a swallow, our article will tell.

The swallow has a specific forked tail. These bifurcated parts are practically straight. They diverge at an angle of 30 °. Also, the length of her tail is the same as the length of the trunk with her head. Short feathers of her tail reach the middle of long feathers. The wingspan is equal to the length of the tail and trunk.

The drawing process

In order to determine the place of the wings,divide the length of the head, trunk and tail by half. The line from the beak to the middle of the body is also divided in half. So you get the upper and lower edge of its wings. The upper edge of the wings will run perpendicular to the body of the swallow. The length of the wing in the upper part is approximately equal to the thickness of the swallow itself.

Now we need to draw a line that is perpendicular to the trunk, and put on it the necessary length of the segment. Next, you need to draw one more perpendicular - in a place where there will be a lower edge of its wings.

The length of the wing in its lower part is approximatelyis equal to the length of the body of the swallow. Now we need to postpone lengths of necessary length. Part of the lower edge of the wings, which is closer to the body, should be parallel to the upper edge, then the wing bends downward. That's why you need to draw a curve of the necessary length and connect the upper edge with the bottom edge of the wings. Now you can draw feathers on the wings.

Now you know how to draw a step-by-step swallow!
