How to Draw a Realistic Bird 

"Okay so we're going to start out with a rough little sketch and then we'll go ahead and create a full fucking bird out of nowhere."

Thanks! I did it with only a graphite pencil but the lighter shades are accomplished by the White paper i was drawing it on! Best tutorial of the month 10/10

I really enjoy your videos. My mother sister and I between us have watched your video on color pencil and the eye over a dozen times each And I can see that this video will be extremely useful on learning. I think it's not only the detail in which you explain things mixed with the right speed but also the tone of your voice is very easy to listen to. Great videos. Thank you

Thank you!! I do pretty good at coloring things with colored pencils but it’s harder for me to actually draw things first. Your videos are fantastic. Thanks for the great tutorials.

which paler u r using may I know please and also which brand of white charcoal

Youre the best! Cause some tutorials doesn't mention the type of pencils they use

Great, detailed tutorial drawing, you do this by memory ? Love it ❤️

Thank you for all your lessons. They are very handy when teaching in High School.

Thank you for sharing..... This proves that you don't need really vibrant colors sometimes to make drawings pop... Just right values.🤓

Great video but I wasn't able to make the proper textures for the feathers. I was wondering what kind of paper did you use for this drawing? I was having a hard time making a clear mark using the white charcoal pencil...

This is one of the best photorealistic bird sketches I've seen. Thank you for taking the time and share with us. I tried to follow this tutorial but for me, the problem is after blending the graphite when I try to add white charcoal I barely see the white color. The white charcoal works fine on paper but just not when I add a layer of graphite. I'm using Faber Castell pencil and mont marte white charcoal pencils. Do I need to use any specific type of paper/graphite /white charcoal to make it work? Thank you @Drawing & Painting - The Virtual Instructor

do you use a pic to draw from or out of your memory?

Thank you for such a detailed demonstration, Excellent!

HI. MAY I KNOW SIR WHAT BRAND OF WHITE CHARCOAL YOU ARE USING CAUSE WHAT I BOUGHT DON'T WORK. THANKS

I love watching you draw. It is so calming.

Curious to see how this would look rendered from white paper with a layer of powdered graphite.

Very well presented. I can follow everything you are saying. I wish there was a little more information about how to draw birds in general, since there are many kinds. I will check out your courses though. I like the approach. Wish my white charcoal pencil was a little more cooperative. Maybe it's just old. Doesn't seem to work too well with graphite.

So beautiful!!

Virtual Instructor, I noticed you are using Derwent graphic pencil....What are you using for the White charcoal?

i went along with it and sketched this drawing as well, step by step. Thanks for the amazing drawing

Hello Master, I love tour works and tutorials. I Would like to see your pastel tips (as watercolor and pencil colors).. that ' s my favorite technique. greetings from Colombia.

Thank you very much 🙏 ❤️ It's a great tutorial!

thanks for the beautiful work! i just wonder, what is the meterial that 4:50 you used (for the blending)?

awesome tutorial! i enjoy watching it. may i know what is that paper material? not mentioned in video

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm interested in the course. On RU-vid, the tutorials have closed captioning in English. This facilitates my understanding. Do the course videos also have subtitles? Thanks

Looks amazingly beautiful

OmG.. this is sooo freaking awesome.. thanx for sharing

great video :-) 👍👌

Hi! Where is the reference for this lesson?

Awesome drawing!

This is by far the best video

Alright I am nine and this really helped me with drawing birds

What kind of bird is it? Pied Wagtail

I really like how you use both mediums, the graphite pencil and the white charcoal pencil. I want to start to do pieces like this.could I replace the white charcoal pencil with a white pastel pencil?

Thank you. But how can charcoal be white? What is it really?

Wow this is very pretty!!!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. This video was really helpful. It made my job easier to draw small birds and other types of birds. Thank you I really appreciated that :D

Thank you for the tips

Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)

Beautiful.

very helpful video, thanks;)

I REAAALLLLLYYYY got bricked with this one

Great 👍

How come the white charcoal pencils I bought can never produce white marks on the paper? They act like blenders.

good job 👍

Would like to mention how satisfying to watch an artist explain his technique while working. I must include the negative; now that we've a black president, and as MLK noted in history, we can now see the real character by their content in behavior, but also, in the contents of their post. Again great work...

Beautiful chickadee. I feed them every day

can you show me more of the beak? PLEASE Sry yall pls no hate

got bricked with this one!
