How to Draw Dove

In this very simple nine-stage drawing instruction, I will show you how to draw a dove.

Doves are among the most abundant birds in the world. In some cultures, they are considered symbols of purity and kindness, while in others they are flying rats.

To draw a dove, you will need a pencil or marker, as well as a sheet of paper. At the very end of the work, you can use a set of colored pencils, paints, or markers for coloring.

Step 1

First, depict a small, round head as an oval and a torso as an elongated oval.

Step 2

Now draw the upper edges of the wings at the top of the torso. Next, draw the top edge of the tail.

Step 3

Connect the neck and torso with a couple of short lines. Now depict a circle eye and a beak.

Step 4

Draw the feathers on the wings of the pigeon with long and smooth lines.

Step 5

Now draw the very top row of feathers using a lot of C-shaped lines.

Step 6

Now, using long and smooth lines, depict the tail that looks like a fan.

Step 7

Draw legs in the lower body of the dove.

Step 8

Now get rid of all the auxiliary lines and make the dove drawing clearer and darker.

Step 9

I painted the beak and legs purple, and the eye black, leaving a round highlight in it. But you can color your dove drawing any other color. You can use pictures of pigeons from the Internet as a reference for coloring.

To make your drawing of a dove more voluminous, you can add shadows and texture to the feathers.
