Drawing a peace dove with an olive branch

Birds
Today we are going to draw a very special little bird: the peace dove. With its white feathers and a green branch, it brings a message of peace to everyone. Grab your pencil, because we are going to work step-by-step using simple shapes!
1
Basic shapes of a dove: a small circle and a large oval.
Draw a small circle for the head and a larger oval below it for the dove's body.
2
The dove's neck drawn between the head and the body.
Connect the head and the body with two slightly curved lines to create the neck.
3
Guide lines for the wing and the tail of the dove.
Draw a long, slanted line for the top of the wing and a shorter line for the tail.
4
The outline of the wing and short lines for the legs.
Shape the wing with a large arc and place small dashes where the legs should go.
5
A beak on the head and a long line for the branch.
Draw a pointed beak on the head and a graceful, curved line for the olive branch.
6
The tail shape and an eye of the dove drawn.
Finish the shape of the tail and draw a small round eye in the head.
7
Details of the feathers on the wing and the tail.
Now draw the feathers on the underside of the wings and the tail using wavy lines.
8
Leaves on the olive branch and drawn legs.
Draw small leaves on the branch in the beak and finish the legs.
9
The finished drawing of a peace dove with clouds in the background.
Erase the guide lines and draw a few soft clouds around the dove for decoration.
