Drawing a cheerful parakeet

Birds
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a cheerful parakeet sitting cozily on a branch. Grab your pencil and paper, because we are starting with simple shapes. Are you joining in?
1
A small circle for the head of the parakeet and a line for the branch.
Draw a small circle at the top for the head and draw a diagonal line for the branch.
2
A large oval as the body and a long guide line for the bird's tail.
Make a larger oval under the head for the body and draw a long line downwards for the tail.
3
Guide lines for the wing and the position of the feet on the branch.
Draw a curved line in the middle of the body for the wing and put small dashes where the feet will go.
4
The head of the parakeet with a curved beak and a round eye.
Give the parakeet a curved beak at the front of the head and draw a small eye.
5
Detail of the bird's feet with toes holding the branch.
Draw the feet with small toes that grip firmly around the branch.
6
The tail takes shape and the wing gets its first feathers.
Make the tail a bit thicker and draw the first layers of feathers on the wing with arches.
7
Small details and patterns on the feathers of the parakeet.
Now draw more details, such as the stripes on the head and extra feathers on the belly.
8
The finished drawing of a parakeet on a branch without guide lines.
Make the outlines thicker, erase the guide lines, and give the branch some bumps for a realistic effect.
