That's it for the initial sketch. From this point on, press harder with your pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 6: Draw the macaw's eye as a circle inside another circle. Shade the inner circle (the pupil).

Step 7: Use the initial lines as guides to draw the macaw's beak. The top part of the beak extends outside the oval and comes to a point. The bottom is a curved line underneath the top part.

Step 8: Draw a shape from the scarlet macaw's beak that wraps around the eye for the patch of bare skin.

Step 9: Draw the head using quick, short strokes to simulate feathers.
