How to draw a parrot

Ever since Bob Ross passed away there has been a gaping hole in the art world that is aching to be filled. This blog post oughtta do the trick ...


Draw a circle
And another ... and another ...

Now erase everything except this:


Draw another smaller circle


Erase 3/4 of the circle, and add another smaller circle

Add a big oval shape
Make the oval pointy on the bottom
Draw another curve joining the head to the wing
Erase the extra bits


Add a triangle and a circle


Erase the bottom of the circle

And now you have a parrot!

If you wish, colour in the parrot and add a quote:

Oops. I accidentally drew Pat Martin's parrot!

Dang parrots. I apologize for the profanity.

I hope you enjoyed this edition of ... whatever it was. Join me again next month when I'll show you how to replicate Monet's Woman with a Parasol.

  2. @LGB: If I can help just one person draw a parrot it will all be worthwhile.

    @Brian: I know, isn't it?
