Below you can watch a NEW step-by-step video tutorial with NARRATED steps:

The following is a video tutorial where the steps are WRITTEN out within the video:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake.

Step 1: Draw a circle as a guide for the top part of the budgie's body. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide. Leave enough room at the top for the bird's head and at the bottom for the long tail.

Step 2: Draw an arc on the lower right side of the circle as a guide for the lower part of the budgie's body. The length of the arc should be a bit less than the width of the circle. Sketch lightly at first to get the shape of the arc right.

Step 3: Draw a smaller arc on top of the original circle as a guide for the budgie's head. The height of this arc should be a bit smaller than the width of the circle. The end result of the entire shape should be similar to a sausage.

Step 4: Inside the arc, draw two intersecting lines. These lines will help you place the parakeet's facial features later on.

Step 5: Draw a long line at the bottom as a guide for the budgie's tail. The longer the line, the longer the tail will be. The guides should look like a corn dog now!
