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 an oval as a guide for the hummingbird's body. Don't worry if the oval isn't perfect. It's just a guide.

Step 2: Draw a circle on the top right side of the oval as a guide for the hummingbird's head.

Step 3: Draw two intersecting lines inside the head to help you place the hummingbird's facial features later on.

Step 4: On the right side of the head, draw a straight line as a guide for the hummingbird's beak.

 

 

Step 5: On the upper left side of the body, draw a long arc as a guide for thehummingbird's wing. The size of the arc will determine the size of the wing, so don't draw it too long or too thick.
