Why? This tiny little bird flaps its wings so fast my human eyes can only see shadows of movement. If I haven’t had the pleasure to see a few beautiful hummingbirds breezing around on a bright, sunny afternoon I wouldn’t say they’re underrated. But they really are amazingly beautiful animals! Totally underrated! Let pay this awesome creature a portrait and bring awareness to one of nature’s hardest working birdies!

🖍️ Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- Pencil
- Polymer Eraser
- Outline Markers
- Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)
🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
