Anya, your first diagram looks more like an oar) and the second one looks like a polystyrene flame. Although maybe my scheme is not much better))) But still I give you the diagram step by step drawing pen. This is a large, stiff feather that is usually found in the wings and plumage of birds. It is relatively strong and light, thanks to which birds fly.

And this must be a tit. in the tit I have already shown some feathers but very simplified:



In general, I draw feathers with simple strokes where contrast needs to be emphasized, here is GOOSE as an example, here, as you can see, I did not show each feather, because there is no need for this - and everything is clear:



At first glance, it is difficult to draw a feather or feathers, since a feather consists of small and thin feathers, but this is only at first glance. I offer you a photo diagram that will help you draw a feather very easily. This way you can already draw a feather headband of Indians:



There is also another one, too easy way how to draw a feather. It’s reminiscent of drawing a twig, but step by step a lush and beautiful feather emerges:



Draw a feather, at first glance it’s simple, but in reality it’s not, especially if you’re drawing the plumage of the bird itself. But after trying to draw feathers a couple of times using step-by-step drawing, you will get better and better, and also faster.

Here is an example of an ordinary bird feather, everything is shown quite simply:









And here is another option for drawing a feather, in this case it is a peacock feather:











There is one technique quick drawing pen. Let's start by drawing a figure that looks like an oval.





If necessary, you can erase unnecessary details with an eraser.

Drawing a feather is not as easy as it might seem at first glance, because you need to draw every fiber, the correct distribution of shadow and light will help give the drawing a natural look, and this is also not easy. However, if you use a visual diagram of drawing Feather, Feather, Feathers, then it will be much easier for you to do this.

Here's another amazing idea on how to draw and color a feather:

And another option in the photo diagram - a fountain pen:

Let's draw the core of the feather in the form of an arc:



Let's draw the shape of the feather itself:





Let's add feather strokes:



The pen is ready, let's color it:



Drawing a bird feather:

First step. We start with the pen shaft, first draw one line, and then thicken it:



Second step. We give the shape of the feather and draw tears on it:



Third step. We remove unnecessary lines and do shading on our feather:



Fourth step. Shading more dark color and we get:



I propose to draw a feather, feathers with a pencil step by step like this:

Feather drawing steps:

1) draw the base of the pen with a bow and an oval - the outline of the pen itself:



2) We begin to draw the feather:



3) Draw the bottom of the feather:



4) Draw the bottom on the other side:





5) Color our feather:





There is one step by step lesson how to draw firebird feather. We draw an oval, a stick from it, and then we draw wavy lines, as in the picture, that form the shape of a feather

We are surrounded by many birds. They all have feather cover. Each feather has its own structure. The feather always has a thick trunk, on which there are thin branches - grooves of the 1st order, which are fastened together with hooks and form the actual fan - the dense part of the feather. The feather at the bottom may also have grooves of the 1st order, not fastened with hooks and forming its downy part. Let us teach you how to draw a bird feather step by step with a pencil.

Stage 1. Draw auxiliary lines of the pen. This is, first of all, the main thick line - the shaft of the pen. It is slightly curved in an arc, as if concave. In its upper part we will draw an elongated oval - the future is the fan of the pen.

Stage 2. Now in the oval itself we begin to draw first-order grooves. These are thin little lines that actually make up the fan of the feather. There are a lot of them and they are connected to each other with microscopic hooks, forming a feather fan plate. In some places at the ends of the fan they may temporarily separate and then gaps will form between them. Let's draw fine lines all over the fan, its edges are shown to be uneven.

Stage 3. Now we draw thin curls at the bottom of the dense part of the fan, not connected to each other. This is the downy part of the feather. These lines - grooves of the first order - do not have hooks for adhesion and therefore they diverge in different directions, forming thick fluff. It is the down that retains heat near the bird's body.

Stage 4. Here we will draw downy grooves on the other side. They bend in different directions, are quite thin and of different lengths. They are adjacent in their upper part to the dense part of the feather.

Stage 5. Now let's fatten the barrel of the pen, make it thicker, then once again clearly outline the main lines of our drawing, and remove unnecessary helper lines with an eraser. It turned out to be a pretty nice feather.

Stage 6. Let's make our feather white and black. The downy grooves can be darkened, and the dense part of the feather can be left light (white).

Stage 7. And at the last stage, we will do shading on the dense part of the feather. Let's draw numerous thin lines over the entire area of ​​the fan, and also cross them with transverse lines. This is how we formed a believable appearance of the feather plate.

In this project, you'll first establish precise proportions and sketch the varied outlines and shapes of an adorable young owl named Hooter, then you'll use shading techniques to characterize the varied textures and define the shapes.

This project is divided into the following 2 sections:
1. Layout Proportions on Paper: You will study the wing and feather structures and then sketch the owl's proportions. Although the structures of feathers and wings are very complex, drawing realistic birds is not difficult.
2. Adding Shading and Texture: You will use shading to add shading to the body to bring out the texture of the feathers. The hatching lines used to draw feathers are jagged and unsmooth, varying in length and thickness. At the end of the work you will draw the details of the eyes and add a woody texture to the tree branch.

Suggested drawing supplies include white drawing paper good quality, molded and vinyl erasers and various graphite pencils, such as 2H, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B.

Arrangement of proportions on paper

While feather and wing structure is very complex, realistic-looking birds are not difficult to draw. You will begin this project by studying the feather and wing structures and sketching the owl's proportions.

A basic understanding of wing and feather anatomy is very helpful if you encounter problems trying to accurately capture a bird's design. The next two pictures show the basic design of the pen. The long leathery part in the center of the feather is called the spine (trunk), and the wide end is called the quill feather. Years ago, writers dipped the tip of a pen (which has a dimple in the center) in ink, thereby turning it into a fountain pen.

Feathers vary in size and texture depending on where they are located on the bird's body. The following words describe various types feathers:

Tiny, soft, downy feathers are located on the head, chest and legs.
. Medium-sized, soft and short feathers with sharp ends are found mainly in the upper part of the wing.
. Long and hard, but sometimes soft to the touch feathers with wide tips and noticeable frames grow in the middle and lower sections of the wing.

This drawing shows the basic design of a wing. Although I defined this pattern for the angel I was drawing, the basic wing structure is similar for a variety of bird species, from the delicate hummingbirds to the majestic condors.

Sketch of exact proportions - basis realistic drawing. Proportion is the relationship between the size of one component of a design to another or others. If there are no proportions, then no beautiful shadows or fancy pencil strokes can save your drawing.

My design is tiny (6" x 7"), but you can try a larger design format such as 9" x 12" or 12" x 14". A drawing format refers to an area of ​​the drawing surface of a given perimeter, limited by a shape of some size, such as the page of a sketchbook.

1. Lightly sketch out an egg-shaped body of an owl, slightly tilted to the left in relation to the drawing area. Here is the truth that the egg is primary! (Green) Don't press too hard on the pencil. You will need to erase these lines later. Rest assured, you will leave the room later, adding the owl's head, wing on the right, legs and tree branch below.

2. Draw a horizontal oval (head), partially overlapping the torso.

3. Add a wing that extends from the bottom of the head at an angle towards the bottom right of the design.

Let's note the following:

The full shape of the wing resembles an inverted oblong teardrop.
. The wing appears to point its tip towards the lower right corner.
. The wing becomes pointed until it ends at lowest point, rounding off slightly.

4. Draw a V-shaped curve on the "face" with the curved ends of the lines at the vertices of the V. The bottom end of the V-curve will be the owl's beak, and the curves flaring out from the bottom tip of the V represent the upper sections of the eyes.

5. Add a small U shape at the tip of the beak. See the picture below.

6. Draw some downy feathers under the wing.

7. Add two oval shapes to represent the legs. Notice that the right paw is much larger than the other. However, in real life, when we look at the owl from the front, both legs will be the same size. In that this paw is obscured from view, perspective dictates that it should be drawn larger than the other one, which is further away from us.

8. Draw the outlines of the owl's eyes. Note that the eyes are partial circles, since inner part The central section of each is hidden by feathers between the eyes. Each eye is a part great circle with a sector of a smaller circle inside.

9. Add a corner tree branch for the owl to sit on.

Clue
Double-check the proportions of your sketch before you begin shading by visually measuring the shapes present in the drawing and the negative areas. Observe the lengths, angles and curvatures of the various lines that outline the owl and the tree branch.

Adding shading and texture

You'll begin this part of the project by adding shading to the body using shading lines. Next, you'll add texture to the feathers, draw in the details of the eyes, and add a realistic wood texture to the tree branch.

The hatching lines used to draw feathers are jagged and unsmooth, varying in length and thickness. Although some strokes are dark and others are light, you still need to maintain a full range of shades from light to shadow. Let's take into account that the light source in this drawing is in the upper left corner. Afterwards the full shades on the left will be lighter than on the right.

Let's take a different look at the wing pattern (Figure 3-03). Note that the feathers in the layers with the shortest feathers cover the body. Further on, the feathers become longer and thinner, with more defined feathers located at the ends of the wing.

10. Lighten your sketch by lightly erasing the lines with an eraser.

11. Replace the rough sketch lines of the owl's head, body and legs with jagged "fluffy" lines representing the texture of the feathers.

12. Redraw the contours of the tree branch so that it looks rough and unsmooth.

Clue
Keep in mind that a full range of shades provides contrast between areas of light and shadow.

Clue
Remember that light affects the placement and shade of each shaded area. In this drawing, the light source is on the left, so the shadow will be darker on the right.

13. Add slanted shading lines to the head to represent small, soft feathers. Look carefully at the directions in which the strokes fall. Take time for this. The directions of the strokes are important as they help convey the illusion of depth to the various shapes.

14. Draw some slightly curved strokes on the owl's beak to show the spots.

15. Sketch out the feathers different forms and dimensions on the wing. Note that the feathers are much shorter in the upper part adjacent to the head than towards the tips of the wings.

16. Add some curved strokes on the feet of the feet to show the direction in which the tiny soft feathers grow.

Clue
Remember that the hatching lines used to draw feathers vary in length and shade. The outlines do not end abruptly, but rather are feather-shaped (or jagged) to convey a more realistic appearance.

17. Using a 2H pencil, lightly shade the feathers on the left and central parts of the leg and the lower part of the body.

18. Use a 2B pencil to shade the intermediate shades mostly on the right. Remember, the light source is on the left. The feathers on the right side are darker than those on the left.

19. Add darker shades of feathers to the lower body, right shoulder, under the beak and under the wing using 2B and 4B pencils.

20. Add another circle around the perimeter of the iris as an outer rim.

21. Add shading to these outer rims using a 2B pencil.

22. Fill in the contours of the eyes by adding tiny highlights to the upper left corner of the left eye. See the picture below.

23. Use a 6B pencil to shade the dark shades on the pupils.

24. Add a long spiky dark piece of shadow on the beak on the right.

25. Shade the lower part of the iris of both eyes with a 2H pencil and their upper parts with an HB pencil.

26. Fill in the shadow of the beak with “streams”. Leave a long thin highlight in the center and a highlight on the lower right outline of the beak (reflected light).

27. Use very hard pencils to add more strokes to all areas of the head. Use 2H for highlights and 2B and 4B for darker areas. Note that the darkest areas are in areas that are in shadow, such as the top of the eye and the sides of the beak.

28. Add some tiny ovals to the feathers on the top section and sides of the head. This illustration shows the finished appearance of these tiny ovals. If you want to highlight some of them more, simply go over them with your eraser to show and highlight the central parts of each.

29. Use a sharpened one hard pencil and short strokes to draw the soft downy feathers on Hooter's chest and paws. Don't miss the dark areas on the upper chest that look like spots.

30. Add shading to the tail feathers. Let's refer to the figure below. The tail feathers are large and can be well defined by textural shading. These shades are very dark on the right and fade to light. The lightest part of each is far to the left.

31. Add some angled lines to the individual feathers. As you can see by looking closely at my drawing, a few angled lines drawn on each of the feathers complete the shading and highlight the details.

32. Add shading to the feathers in the upper section of the wing. Let us establish that the shadow is lighter on the left and gradually becomes darker towards right side. Also note that there is a very dark shadow in the upper part of the body under the head. This is caused by the head casting a shadow on the body.

33. Use different pencils and shading lines to convey the texture of the feathers of the upper wing section. Note that some parts on the left are very light, giving the illusion that individual feathers are very light at the tips.

34. Add shading to the owl's talons on the tips of the toes.

35. Use a combination of shading and shading to add shading and texture to the tree branch. Let us note that the shadows become lighter towards each end of the branch.

Add finishing touches if needed. You can create sections of lighter feathers by highlighting them with an eraser. You can make areas darker by using additional hatching lines where necessary.

Artists are gifted people. Creative personalities Those who are endowed with the talent to paint beautiful pictures are always admired. In their hands, even a simple drawing can become a masterpiece. But, as you know, everything ingenious is simple. And if so, it means there is a technology for beginners. Let's look at an example of how to draw a feather for untrained masters. This can be considered one of the simplest sketches.

How to draw a feather

IN art world There are plots that are specifically designed for drawing by beginning artists. These include: an apple, a vase, flowers, dishes, a tree, a sculpture, a house, etc. That is, something that represents only a part of great work. To this category simple drawings also includes goose feather.

To figure out where to start and how to draw a feather, you should first imagine its structure. In the artist's eyes, it has a stem (or rod) and fluff, which means it consists of two parts.

Therefore, it is worth dividing the process into several stages:

Take a simple pencil. They are easy to draw and just as easy to correct poorly drawn sketches.

Draw a curved line.

Stepping back a little from the end of the sketch, we draw the feather shell around the shaft.

Now we draw out the tears, as in the photo below.

Using an eraser, carefully erase the extra lines in the drawing.

Now our feather drawn with a pencil is ready!

How to draw with paints step by step for beginners

Of course, painting with paints is much more difficult than with a simple pencil. This rule applies to both beginning artists and experienced craftsmen. You should paint the picture by making the outlines with a stylus. Let's look at how to draw a feather with paints step by step.

Take a simple pencil and draw a curved line.

Stepping back from the end of the sketch, draw the feather shell around the shaft.

Now let’s draw the tears.

Using an eraser, carefully erase any excess marks in the drawing.

Now we choose a palette of colors that will decorate our feather.

Mix the paints in the desired tone and take a light gray shade on the tip of the brush.

Once again we outline our contours gray. Now let's take a bright shade. For example, blue. We paint part of the fluff in this color, drawing out the fibers with thin, neat lines.

If we want to use a second color shade, we add bright tones in the form of lines on the other side of the feather or closer to the base of the stem.

Now you can take a thin brush, lightly dipping it with black paint. This is necessary to give saturation and shadow to the sketch on one side.

When you have completed the main work, take a clean brush in your hands and dip it clean water and lightly blend the strict lines together.

Now ours colorful drawing ready!

Summing up

Once you learn how to draw a feather, you will definitely want to experiment further. Perhaps you will develop a new interesting hobby.

And remember: nothing is impossible. Learning to draw is within the power of each of us. You just need to follow simple rules and soon you will be painting pictures no worse than talented masters.
