Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Swallow" 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 front part of the swallow's body. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide. Leave enough room at the top and bottom for the wings.

Step 2: Draw an arc on the right side of the circle to finish up the guide for the swallow's body. The end result should be a shape similar to an egg.

Step 3: Draw another circle on the left as a guide for the bird's head. The circle should be about one-third the size of the first one. The edges of the circles should touch.

Step 4: Inside the circle, draw two intersecting lines. These lines will help you place the swallow's features later.
