i took several art classes during college and not once did they teach about drawing from nature or how to draw birds, i just learned how to do it in 13 mins, thank you for this

I've just drawn the most realistic bird I have ever drawn, and all thanks to watching you in this video, thank you so much

It's still helpful 9 years later!! Fast and simple video, helped me to improvise a little for me to learn by myself from now on.

This is such a great explanation - I learnt so much and cant wait to go and sketch fairy wrens using this information :)

I'm doing some research online to learn how to draw birds and I stumbled across your video. Thank you very much for sharing all of those helpful tips. By simplifying the shapes it's so much easier to see how the bird is put together and draws my eye to what is important.

I have your book (how to draw birds) - but this video is so much more helpful, thank you!

This guy feels like bob ross. Very informative but still relaxing.

Great video, I can finally draw birds that really look like birds lol

The only lesson you will every need to start. You can't go wrong with any of Jack's videos. He is a master artist and instructor.

John books on birds and nature sketching are great.

Amazing tutorial, very technical and informative. Thank you very much 💕

I love this video! So well explained, short but to the point, with so many important details to take in consideration before drawing birds. Nothing was left out! I’m a beginner and I have no problem following this tutorial.

This is the best bird drawing lesson, that made me understand how to draw a bird and simplicity of bird sketching. Thank you so much for the knowledge.

This the most helpful and informative video I have come across while trying to find videos of how to draw birds. Thank you!

Man, I so love your style and way of life! :D Thank you so much! :D

thank you so much, as about 40 years ago a bird in the nature morte in our art school put an end to my childhood's drawers career, now i'm just happy for being able to solve that "bird problem", yesss

Thank you so much for the video. I just started art classes and your instruction are excellent.

Thank you ever so much. This is very instructive!

Love your videos, please make more! Also love your book!!! Thank you!!!

This is so helpful! I’m a beginner with watercolors. I’ve struggled to sketch the basic shape of birds for practicing a loose painting style. Birds are great watercolor subjects, but draw…erase…repeat is driving me mad! I’m a grateful new subscriber. 😎

This was so easy, im generally surprised how good it turned out. First time drawing a bird went successful i think

This is so professional ! Thank you that helped a lot !

Such an excellent tutorial!! 👏🙌

Thank you that was really good educational video how to draw bird . I enjoyed learning as this is the first time I am going to draw birds on my new painting . 😊

You are an amazing teacher! Subscribed 😁

What a woooonderfuuul video!!! 😍😍😍

Thanks for the info. Addresses some things I was thinking about. I will have to think again about mechanical pencils. I have always used regular sketching pencils.

This is actually a big help for my Paleoart, the art of the prehistoric world

Very professional painting teaching!!!

very helpful description mr Jack.

Thank you so much for this sketch tutorial! I finally understood how to draw birds with shapes and stuff! it's easy now....

Really helpful stuff Thank you :)

Heard about you on A Delectable Education podcast. This is so helpful!

Great video!! Thanks so much!

Excellent video. I am eager to go and try drawing birds realistically.

It's interesting that this video is basically what you teach in the "New Bird Drawing" video except that you form the bird's body from the body position line.

Great teaching!

Thank you.Just what i wanted.

Amazing Work!

Great. Thank you for this.

Excellent tip about the placement of the eye relative to the beak!

your awesome!

The stuff on primary vs secondary was really useful. Makes me realize I need to study ornithology.

Excellent!

Best bird drawing video

Thanks for sharing these techniques. I was stuck. I'm doing a comic book and it's called "Bird Brains" it's a comedy of errors, like "The Beverly Hillbillies" or "The Gods Must Be Crazy." or "3's Company". The story is all written, and it's complete, but I needed better artwork. I just slam dunked real crude stick figure birds just to get it done. Now I've got a handle on getting acceptable artwork, and I can move ahead and complete the project, thanks to you. Much obliged, and thanks again, CHEERS!

Video of Wisdom !!

Whoa your good!

Thanks for the video❤

Thank you!

this is absolutely helpful

thanks. very helpful. :)

very helpfull thanks

Thanks for this :)

What kind of pencil are you using? Or does anyone else know?

By the way guys, Laws has two field sketching guide books - one just for birds - that I cannot recommend enough!

Made me think of one of the main things I ever learned in art class....draw what you see, not what you know.

So helpful

oh, 2013, back when KZfaq was all friendly and innocent

What kind of pencil are you using? Or does anyone else know? Great video.

good tips thank you, darn mosquito's!

He’s the real deal

The birds near my house are fairly tame and plentiful, you can get into a metre's range without them flying off but they don't stay still for very long, how can I draw when my subject flies off whenever I get into a minute or two of drawing it? Please consider answering my question, thank you.

I am sad because I do not speak English, only a few words ... I want to understand everything you say! :( I love your video and beautiful drawings of birds and wildflowers. We are friends on Facebook too :) I'll try to draw birds with your help ... Greetings from Chile. (here there are beautiful birds! and natural landscapes) Vilma Oyarzún

This is so cool I CAN NOW DRAW BIRDS😂

Currently trying to draw gray hooded Crowes from my room

god loves u❤

and btw my face was this 10 years ago so I look different now gt

His face looks really familiar. Can someone think of the actor or someone that resembles him?..

This would be a great video, but JML's drawing hand is in the way of the viewer's ability to see the drawing he is doing. I am new to you tube drawing videos, but see this problem more often than not!
