Please PAUSE the video after each step to draw at your own pace.

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a circle as a guide for the lovebird's head. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide. Leave enough room on the bottom for the body.

Step 2: Draw two intersecting lines inside the circle. These lines will help you place the facial features later on.

Step 3: Draw another circle on the bottom left side of the head as a guide for the lovebird's body. This circle should be almost twice as big. The edges of the two circles should almost touch.

Step 4: Add a few more lines to finish the guide for the lovebird's body. Add a couple of lines to connect the head to the body at the top and a curved line at the bottom.

Step 5: Draw a long, thin arc on the lower left side of the body as a guide for the lovebird's tail.
