Hummingbird drawing project


Check out this site--------> http://www.hummingbirdsociety.org/index.php  (It's where I found information about those beautiful hummingbirds)!

Such a crazy song these hummingbirds have------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm9ME7jVRuY


Also, I found some very useful steps below that will help me with this project, especially with the one line drawings.



How To Draw a Hummingbird

How To Draw a Hummingbird
In this drawing lesson we’ll show you how to draw a Hummingbird in 8 easy steps. This Free step by step lesson progressively builds upon each previous step until you get to the final rendering of the Hummingbird.
This is a simple lesson designed for beginners and kids with real easy to follow steps. Feel free to print this page and use as a drawing tutorial.
Here are some fun facts about the Hummingbird you might find interesting.
  1. They are among the smallest of birds.
  2. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12–90 times per second.
  3. They can also fly backwards.
  4. They can fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s.
  5. Hummingbirds drink nectar, a sweet liquid inside flowers.
Step 1: Begin by drawing the back of the head.
Step 2: Draw the beak.
Step 3: Draw the lower body and neck.
Step 4: Draw the first wing.
Step 5: Draw the lower feathers.
Step 6: Complete the lower feathers and add the wing details.
Step 7: Add more wing details.
Step 8: Finish by adding the eyes and the beak details to complete the drawing of the Hummingbird.
This is a very short video on drawing a HummingBird, the process isn’t exactly clear but its worth a look to see what shapes are being used to draw the Hummingbird.




It's a work in progress!!
