Swans are noble birds that symbolize the best human qualities. They are also the personification of fidelity and love. There is a version that the two swans that swim towards each other are the prototype of a love symbol – the heart. From that moment people began to portray two loving swans together as a sign of strong feelings and serious intentions towards the person.
In previous drawing lessons, we showed how to draw an owl, a crow, a toucan, a dove, etc. Therefore, you already have the experience of how to draw the birds. Today we offer a step by step instruction with pictures and description of how to draw two beautiful swans. The level of difficulty of the instruction is average. You can also depict one floating swan, using our instruction.
Auxiliary lines
Draw two cross lines in the center of the sheet. To do this, use the ruler.
Main parts
The vertical and horizontal axis divides the sheet in half into equal parts. Drawing figures on one side, you have to repeat exactly the same on the other side. You must get a mirror image.
In order to draw a schematic shape of the body and head, it’s enough to depict two ovals. The dimensions are appropriate.
Neck
Connect the head and body into the arc using two curved lines. The swan’s shape is ready.
Improve the form
Draw small pointed tails and adjust the contour of the body.
The wings
The joy of meeting each other the swans express by flapping the wings. Draw a raised wing as it’s shown in the picture.
Erase some details
Erase the lines that separate the body of the birds and the wings. They are superfluous in the picture. Carefully do this using an eraser. Don’t touch the necessary details. Auxiliary lines do not need to be erased yet.
Correct contours
The body of the swans is covered with feathers. Draw this using the wavy lines.
Beak
The beak of these noble birds is sharp and big but not too long.
Draw the wings
Draw the wings using the sharp triangles.
Eyes
The eyes are small like buttons. Just draw small ovals to draw the eyes of a Swan.
Now it’s time to erase the auxiliary lines, they are no longer needed.
Heart
We have already mentioned that two swans floating towards each other form the contour of the heart. Let’s draw this symbol between beautiful birds. If you have any difficulties, you can use our instruction of how to draw a heart quickly and easily.
Pond
Draw the habitat of the swans using smooth curves of the line – the pond.
Coloring
Make the colored contours to make the picture look more spectacular and romantic. Do this by using the crayons, the markers or the watercolors.
You can use it as a Valentine card for Valentine’s Day. Sign it beautifully and give the picture to your beloved person. Additionally, you can decorate the empty space on the sheet with stamps for drawing, making them by yourself.
