How To Draw a Bird using Coloured Pencil | Feather Tutorial

This week I'm giving you a few tips on how to draw feathers in coloured pencil with this Lemon Crested Cockatoo! We'll take a look at the feather layering and the technique used to render realistic white feathers.
We'll be adding lots of blues, purples and greens into this study to create realistic shadows full of depth and character. We'll also touch on parts of the beak and eye.

Your pencil technique is truly perfection. I am even more amazed at how you turn an over 4 hour drawing into an 13:07 minute video! You instruct your viewers in an easy to understand manner and excite us all to draw our own! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bird Amie, please take care, be safe and enjoy the rest of your day!

That is beautiful. You deserve more views

Thank you! 😊

Absolutely amazing so realistic. Here in Australia these cockatoos are real characters which I think you really capture. I would love to see how would draw our Australian magpies which are beautiful mostly black birds. I find their black feathers really tricky and would love to learn more about how to tackle these.
