I chose to go with a branch style post, but you can draw a straight looking pole or maybe an intertwined weaving of twigs for a post. I saw this style at Lowes near my house, it was so pretty and unique. Anyway, don't forget to add detailing to the p

Description: It's official, birds are coming around again despite all the snow that we have on the ground here in Northern New England. I watched a few birds peck at an open area of dirt and grass hoping to find a worm or seed. Since the birds are coming back I thought of a neat, and helpful lesson that might come in handy when creating new drawings for the upcoming warm seasons. Here is "how to draw a birdhouse", step by step. I know that many of you probably love birds, and since I love drawing birds, what better way to create a happy environment than to make a tutorial on drawing a birdhouse. As you know birdhouses come in many, many different sizes, styles, shapes and forms. These small miniature structures are built from wood, fiberglass, plastic, metal, and even straw ( believe me, I have seen them in straw). The house that I made for you all can be tweaked to your liking, and it can also be decorated, colored, and placed any way, or where you want. I was going to draw a small bird standing on the perch, but then I thought that would just clutter the tutorial. Surprisingly I enjoyed creating this design, and believe it or not, but this is my very first birdhouse drawing. I do hope that you enjoy this lesson, and since I have submitted my tutorials for the day, be sure to come back tomorrow for more drawing fun. Adios people and enjoy your weekend.
