Hello Friends,
Today's Pick – Beautiful Bird (Marker Painting)
When I thought about what object to make, I came across a picture of a beautiful blue bird.
Her unique patterns, beautiful eyes, and vibrant colors appealed to me so much that I started making her right away.
The Material I used
Sketchbook
Black Marker (for outline)
Blueway marker
Glossary Blueway Marker
Purple Marker (for wings and feet)
Yellow Marker (for beak)
Pencil
Eraser
Ruler (if needed)
Beginning of sketching
First I made a complete outline sketch of the bird with light lines.
Made the head, beak, eye, wing pattern, and tail to balance like the original image.
I tried to make the lines very light so that there would be no problem when applying the marker.
Marker Painting Process
When the sketch was complete, I slowly began marker coloring:
- Head and eye
On the bird's head I left the white spaces blank and outlined the pattern with a black marker.
The shading around the eye gave the bird a lively look.
Body color
Color the beak with yellow marker so that the contrast is noticeable.
Used sky blue marker on chest and stomach. Mix both dark blue and black colors on the wings to create a beautiful shadow.
For the feet I chose a purple marker which makes the image more appealing.
The final touch
Finally, I re-outlined the entire bird with black marker to give the whole drawing a clean and strong look.
The final look
My marker painting is not only simple but also very suitable for beginners. The brightness of the marker colors and clean lines made this bird even more beautiful.
I personally enjoy it because working with markers always feels smooth and tidy.
My Experiences
When I was doing marker painting, the biggest convenience was that the colors absorbed quickly and stayed clear, no smudges or water lines.
However, care should be taken not to rub the marker too much in one place again and again, otherwise the paper may get damaged.
Difficulties
I didn't have much trouble finding the tools.
Marker and sketchbook were already with me.
Point of creativity
I tried to keep the colors balanced and the beauty in the image remained. Especially the shading on the wings and tail of the bird gave it a very realistic look.

Your marker painting of the bird on the sketchbook truly feels alive. The smooth blending of colors and the gentle attention to feather details show real patience and love for art.
