How to Draw a Cardinal Bird


Step 1

Start you drawing of a Cardinal bird by drawing the beak. Draw lightly in pencil to begin, as this will make it easier to erase any mistakes you might make.
Step 2

Now add the eye of the Cardinal, and the pattern on the face.
Step 3

Continue by drawing the line of the chest, then finish the outline of the head and back.
