Before you learn how to draw A Budgie-Parakeet, did you know?

AKA the common parakeet, this parrot comes with a long tail and likes seeds for breakfast. Found in Australia, the species is pretty remarkable, as it managed to survive in the continent’s harsh conditions for 5 million years, give or take. The most common (and natural) color combination is green-yellow-black, perfect for a small bird like that.

However, the humans have successfully bred different-colored budgies, including white and blue variations. These guys are very popular as pets because of the low cost, miniature size, and the famous mimicking ability. By the way, do you know when was the first time this species got its official place in our books? Back in 1805, and today, it’s the 3rd most popular pet.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
