Stripey Birds
This tutorial is all about practising alcohol marker blending rather than creating a perfect finished drawing. You'll draw three simple birds, experiment with nib-to-nib blending, then finish everything off with bold black linework and fine details.

Chicken Shed
In this tutorial we'll fill a whole page with funny little chickens using prompt cards. The focus isn't on perfect drawings - it's about creating lots of different expressions, overlapping characters and having fun filling the page.

The Crazy Bird
In this tutorial we’re colouring the bird inspired by artist Mareanues.
We’ll use three shades of one colour for the head, add a bold beak and tongue, then finish it with black outlines, dots, flicks and a simple body if there’s time.

Folk Style Birds
This tutorial is inspired by the colourful folk-inspired work.
Instead of relying on black outlines, you'll build the artwork using layers of Posca colours, simple bird shapes and decorative patterns. It's a great exercise for experimenting with colour combinations and filling a page with bold, p...

Crazy Bird
In this tutorial we’re drawing a bird inspired by artist Mareaneus.
It’s a nice one for lazy zigzags, wonky lines, scruffy details and those strange little wing-hands that look like fists.

Cats and a Pigeon
In this tutorial, we draw a crowd of simple cats with one confused little pigeon stuck in the middle.
It’s quick, funny, and a good way to practise mixing up eyes, mouths, patterns, and wonky lines.

Blending Bird Characters

Raymond Bird
This one is a slouched bird character with a scruffy look and loads of room to play with colour and texture. It’s a good one to try if you want something simple to build, then push further with outlines, wrinkles and extra feather details.

Bird Face
This is a scruffy little bird character with one heavy-lidded eye and a tired sort of look to it. It’s a good one to try if you want something simple that still gives you room to mess around with the beak, feathers and whatever the bird ends up holding.

Grumpy Bird
This one is a nice simple bird character built from a few basic shapes and a lot of attitude.
Big tired eye, droopy body, scruffy feathers and awkward little feet. It’s a good one for seeing how much personality you can get into a drawing without needing loads of detail.
The big lesson in this tu...
