Description: This next tutorial is going to be on how to draw a pigeon. Now pigeons are those dirty birds that crowd the streets, parks, building, and sidewalks of New York City. Pigeons have earned the “dirty” name because they poop everywhere and they eat anything. You will often see folks sitting on bench’s feeding these birds either bread or wild bird seed. The actual name of these birds that we commonly see is “rock pigeon”. They are considered domesticated because they thrive amongst the human race without fear because they know by now that we are not out to hurt them in any way. If you were to ask me what I think of these birds, I would have to tell you that to me they are disease infested and real dirty, I mean pigeons and pigs are the same in my book. Rock Pigeons are pale grey with two black stripes on each wing. They vary in size between twelve to fifteen inches in length with a twenty five to thirty inch wingspan. These birds are probably one of the few that don’t look any different whether they are male or female. I tried to draw out this pigeon in a way that he/she would look cute. But like I said before, they are simply gross to me. I mean when I walk under a bridge I have to avoid stepping on the mound of pigeon poo that blocks my way. Yuk! Anyway I know you will like drawing this cute pigeon because I put him/her on top of a building with its wings semi expanded. You will see just how easy it is to learn how to draw a simple pigeon step by step. I will be back tomorrow with more drawing tutorials for you all to learn from, I hope you had a fun learning experience today in DragoArt.com.
