Pencil drawing of a dove

The dove is a bird of peace and love. Very often newlyweds release into the air a beautiful pair of white doves, and in the old days, when there was no postal service and the Internet, doves even passed messages. Let's learn together to draw this bird with a romantic story.

Materials needed:

[INDENT]- a sheet of a4 paper;
- simple pencil (preferably soft)[/INDENT]

Step-by-step drawing:

1. Draw a small oval, with an inclination of 45 degrees (this will be the body of the dove). From behind, draw a sharp tail.

2. On the body draw a wing, which slightly protrudes on the tail. On top, at some distance from the body draw a small circle (the future head of the bird).

3. Connect the body and head with two lines - the neck. At the bottom draw two triangles - bird's thighs, from which the legs with claws grow (branch the thin line into three more).

4. Draw plumage on the wing, add some feathers at the bottom of the tail. On the head put a fat dot (eye), and on the left side draw a beak.

5. Paint the dove with different shades of gray color: beak and claws the darkest, part of the wing - a little lighter, tail feathers and neck - a very light gray color. And we get such a bird, which looks like a live one.
