DIY Drawing Birds in Proportion

You will learn how to draw a fantail; a beautiful little NZ native which has a tail that spreads out like a fan when it flies. You will learn how to use sighting to ensure accuracy. Sighting has been used by artists for hundreds of years to guarantee proportion. You can learn to draw like the professionals by using sighting.

Although you can’t see our little fantail’s tail because the photo we’re using shows a perching fantail front on, it is perfect for our purposes. Take the plunge and empower yourself with the knowledge that enables realism every time.

The course includes notes and a video.
