You get to use beautiful shades of colored pencils when you draw the different kinds of parakeets. It’s fun to draw as many gorgeous colors and patterns as you like.
Parakeet’s body
Species order and family: Psittaciformes, Psittaculidae
Size: 7–9 in (18–23 cm)
Slightly larger than a sparrow. In the wild, they have a yellow head with black stripes on their body. Intelligent and friendly with humans, they’ll even sit on your finger and can learn to speak.
Colored pencils used for parakeet
1. Sketch the shape using bluish gray. Draw the eye with black, the nose with light pink, the beak with orangish yellow, and the cheek pattern with deep blue.
2. Color in the face and head using bright yellow. Press down firmly when filling in the front side of the face and shade the color more lightly as you go toward the back of the head.
3. With your lime green pencil, color in the belly and the back. Then with spring green, draw the wing. Create a base that makes it easy to draw the black pattern on the wing.
4. Now draw the black pattern on the wing. Layer the entire wing with bright yellow.
5. Add the black pattern on the face. First color the tail in with lime green, then layer over it with deep blue. Next shade the tip with black.
6. Draw the feet in light pink and finish by adding a perch of whatever color you’d like.
