Drawing a hummingbird is a fun and creative activity! Let’s learn how to draw a hummingbird step by step. Grab your crayons and paper, and let’s get started!
Use your black crayon to draw the body of the hummingbird. Make an oval shape that leans a little to the side. Place it on the left side of your paper. This will leave space for the wings.
Draw a small circle for the eye and color it in. This will make your hummingbird look lively!
Hummingbirds have long beaks to sip nectar from flowers. Draw a sideways “V” shape coming out from the body for the beak.
Start by drawing a diagonal line from the body. Curve it down to connect back to the body. Inside the wing, draw another curve to match the outer line, giving it depth.
At the top of the wing, draw a line that extends outward. Add more lines next to it to show feathers. Keep drawing feathers down the wing until you reach the end.
Hummingbirds have two wings, so let’s draw the second one! Draw a line coming up from the body, then curve it back down to meet the first wing. Add a matching curve inside and draw a few feathers.
Draw a line coming down from the back of the body, then curve it back up to make the tail. Add two feathers inside the tail for extra detail.
Add some lines on the body to show feathers. Start from the beak and draw a curve under the eye. Add another curve near the belly for a feathered look.
When hummingbirds fly, their feet are tucked up. Draw a small oval for one foot and color it in. Then, add another oval for the second foot.
Now it’s time to color your hummingbird! Use the colors you have to make it vibrant and beautiful. You can add a background, like flowers or a sunny sky, to make your artwork even better.
Congratulations! You’ve drawn and colored a hummingbird. You can always add your own creative touches, like more flowers or even more hummingbirds. We hope you had a lot of fun with this drawing activity. Happy drawing!
Nature Observation Walk: Take a walk outside with your family or friends and look for birds in your neighborhood. Can you spot any birds with long beaks like a hummingbird? Try to observe how they move and what they do. Draw a picture of the bird you saw when you get home and compare it to your hummingbird drawing. What are the similarities and differences?
Feather Collection and Craft: Collect some feathers (or use craft feathers) and create your own bird wings. Use glue to attach the feathers to a piece of paper in the shape of a wing. Think about how the feathers overlap and how they might help a bird fly. How does this activity help you understand the structure of a hummingbird’s wings?
Color Mixing Experiment: Use watercolors or colored pencils to mix colors and create new shades. Try to match the colors you see on real hummingbirds or in pictures. What happens when you mix pink and green? How about purple and black? Use these new colors to add more detail to your hummingbird drawing.
