The Firebird is a character of Russian folklore. In the drawings, this mythological bird is usually depicted full of dignity, beautiful and bright, with golden plumage, a luxurious tail, spreading wings and a tufted head. So, try to draw such a fabulous bird. To do this, prepare a sheet of paper, a pencil, an eraser and, if desired, markers, paints or colored pencils.
How to draw the Firebird
At the beginning of the drawing of the fairy bird, draw the approximate general shape of the body and the outline of its legs. For the initial outlines of this feathered character, draw an oval for the torso, as well as triangles for the future wings. The tail of a fabulous bird can consist of an arbitrary shape. Also draw the initial outlines of the character's legs, so as not to forget to depict them in the future.
Remember, these are only initial outlines, so at this stage you should not draw the details completely. It is possible that later you will need to fix them a little.
In the next step, start drawing the wings of the bird. At first, only their basis should be outlined. Feathered wings are a kind of hands. Knowing how the bird's wing works, you can easily determine their location. Draw the wings as branches on a tree that point upwards. Then draw curved feather outlines from them.
Now you can draw the body of the fairy bird, but before that, erase the original contour lines. Draw the elongated eye of the feathered character, as well as a small crest at the crown of the head. There should be many small feathers on the body of the bird, they also need to be drawn.
Try to depict small feathers like snake scales.
After that, start drawing the feathers of the Firebird. This is a more painstaking stage. To make your mythological character realistic, you should draw it with all the effects, and therefore the feathers must be drawn in detail.
Return to the drawing. Draw the contour lines of the wings below in zigzag. Then take the curved long "leaves" from the previous base of the wings. These will be the main feathers of the fabulous bird. Next, you need to draw a tail. To do this, from the previous zigzag draw curved lines to the feathers-leaves.
Try to make the lines with the same slope, except for the lowest lines, which are closer to the character's body. To depict the tail of the Firebird in detail, start a little later, but for now it will look like a snag, since it needs to be divided into 3 parts. Fill in these parts with shapes that resemble orchid flowers.
Finishing touches
To draw the entire fairy bird, draw elongated ovals with a dark center in the middle. From them, make strokes that should resemble human hair. After that, shade the drawing of the character as a whole, as well as some parts of his wings.
That's all, the drawing of a fabulous bird is ready. As you can see, it is not so easy to portray her. And if the picture of the Firebird is painted with bright colors, it will look like a fiery one.
