How to paint/draw birds/wings

First start off with a dome shaped head and add a beak. (Short beaks are easier)

Draw beady black eye.

Draw feathers which look long when a bunch are grouped up together and form them into wings.

Draw tail feather and skinny legs.(you can draw a tree/stick or something if you want it to look like its perched on a branch)

And now you're finished with a simple bird!

There are many different types of birds with different shapes and sizes. Experiment with some different birds and maybe sketch a little cartoony one if you want too!
