Realistic Bird INK DRAWING Tutorial (8-ish Top Tips!)

In this realistic bird ink drawing tutorial, I look at different techniques that can be used for drawing a bird. From working on the individual feathers, to creating tonal variation. I show you how to make the feathers look layered, and the beak rounded. BTW I go on to apply a splash of colour in one of my other videos. 😉

Drawing with a pen can be a daunting business, as there's pretty much no going back. Once the ink is on the paper, it's difficult/ impossible to take it off. That's not like watercolor, where mistakes can usually be sorted. Let me show you how I get around this when I'm using a permanent ink pen, there is a way, and it's all to do with how you hold your pen...
