I know this vid is almost 2 years old but I just wanted to say a big ol thank u for taking the time to make and post all the tutorials u have, U are my "go to" artist and this bird vid is my current favourite, I'll be spending some time on this to hone my bird in flight drawings! I hope u have expanded your skills and are reaping the rewards of your generosity to all of those u have helped along the way Chris :)
i started out drawing w pencil and managed to get some realistic shading. i really love how youve simplified the process to acheive a realistic effect with probably half the effort it used to take me. 😆 thanks for the tips!! keep it up.
You're one of the few professional artists who explain each phase of a sketch to help us newbie artists understand why a certain step is done. Awesome work as always Chris!
Dude I am always blown away by your art! As a beginning artist it's been super encouraging and helpful to see your videos and your unique process! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Hi everyone! Here's my drawing of flying birds! I really hope this video helps out in some way. Be sure to let me know what you think. Thank you so much again for the amazing amount of support. Hope you're having a great day! -Chris
oh!! you got amazing drawings! sub +like for you!! keep going! ^_^ I start my drawing channel too) if you have time It will be great if you check my speed drawing video and let me know if you like it or not! :*
A thing I find really hard to draw is shattered or cracked glass, like in a window, or just a glasspanel. Could you make a tutorial on that? That'd help me a lot.
Aww man this is crazy, I watched your videos like 2-3 years ago and I fell away from the main channels I watched for a while and now one of your videos have shown up on my recommended and I see you're still killing it once I've looked through a couple videos, awesome work man, keep it up! I remember way back when you were talking about how a teacher used your channel for teaching, or you helped teach a class or something like that!
I'm so glad I came across your video. Thank you for explaining the the steps you take when drawing your picture. You're absolutely a joy to watch. I'll be trying your method out tonight. Thanks again.
I just found your channel and I must say, you are quite the realism artist! I'm a young (self-proclaimed) artist and I wish to learn from your videos. I have subscribed to you and I have yet more amazing videos to wait for!
It really helps, Chris! You’re brilliant, and kind to try to encourage others with your skills and talent. Love following you! I love looking at birds, but find drawing them very difficult with all their patterns, layers, details and colors.
hey lethal Chris my name is Chris to and I started drawing at the age of 5 not very good but I tried then I became quite good and that's when found your channel at the age of 12 and you have given me ideas and have helped me become a better artist and my favorite type of dog is a German shepherd I would love for you to draw it for me because I know that you'll do great on anything thank you for being such a good artist I love your channel
Love your drawings. I personally enjoy drawing various animals, portraits, flowers etc. I like using graphite pencils and colour pencils too. Your work is great and really helpful. Thankyou.
First comment and I really enjoyed with this video love your work😍😊 thank you soooooo much. I was waiting for how to draw the birds. you always do the helpful ways thank you so much😉😊
Do you have more colored bird drawings? Other than the robin? I quite like nature portraits, and enjoy drawing them with color, but am not too good at it. You're very helpful and artistic, so if I'm to learn and would love to watch more of your videos.
thank you so much for uploading this. your instructions were very clear and it made it really easy to follow up. you just earned urself a new subscriber.
I would love to see you draw a swallow or Kingfisher. Because in addition to furr, they have scale like feathers covering their body in a pattern. It would be interesting to see your take on that.
WOW! This looks amazing, gosh, your freaking talented. That was a great tutorial and it helped a lot, thank you so much! I HAVE to watch some of your other videos:) Love this channel so far:)
Hi! Your videos have helped me alot in drawing. There are two things that I have trouble drawing and those are buildings and natural landscapes. I would love to see a video about how to draw any type of building. In nature, I can now draw trees because that video you posted. Can you please make a video about how to draw something from real pictures? I can draw easily if my reference images are drawings made by others but when I look up something real, I just get confused and frustrated. You're doing an awesome job at making these kind of videos. Thanks.
Hi Chris!, I just wanted to say thanks a mil on your videos...they are really helping me in improving my drawing skills, particularly that video you did on drawing an eagle head..I have been struggling on drawing the feathers but that feather effect trick has been helping me, I haven't mastered it yet but I have made progress.Thanks a whole lot again...
I like it a lot better when he talked cuz it help a understand what he is doing instead of headlines and how they go by so quick and you have to read them
How do you achieve getting such dark color with the mechanical pencil? For example, the beak and eye. I can't seem to get it that dark. It always seems to be a shade of gray rather than black.
Another great video. Thanks. What lead are you using in your mechanical pencil? You manage to get some really dark tones. All I get is a shiny graphite effect! Thanks again for these vids.
Beautiful drawing, I love birds of all breeds, but always have difficulty in getting the 3d effect, also the wings, I never get right, one is either too wide or too large.
Love love love your tutorials. I dew for years and then life got in the way...but IM back. I've done several of these and I always see you using what appears to be a mechanical pencil. Can you tell me what this is. I'm currently using a Faber-Castell 9000 set which is great but I find it difficult to really pull off those dark areas like you do. I also need to invest in a stump :P Toilet paper just doesn't cut it...
Chris could you do different types of birds like maybe a peacock or an eagle (if you haven't done them) I'd love to see you do those more popular and prominent birds like birds of paradise. EDIT: I see you have done and eagle head :P
Thanks a lot for your content! It's helped inspire me to become better and break things down. I think your explanations are a great and key component, excellent work.
¡Tus videos son geniales! Éste me ha ayudado mucho para hacer mi dibujo, gracias por la explicación paso a paso. Tienes un talento brutal... saludos desde México

You were able to capture nature´s perfection and freedom. I love it.
Wow, thank you so much!
You have done an amazing job at capturing the realism of these birds. Keep on doing what you're doing.
Thank you very much. :)
Excellent. The key takeaway is the layering techniques in concert with the feather detail.
A thing I find really hard to draw is shattered or cracked glass, like in a window, or just a glasspanel. Could you make a tutorial on that? That'd help me a lot.
Sisern yes same
Sisern Yes I definitely need that

How do you get such dark marks out of an HB lead? That looks like at least a 2B
wowwwwww l really like this 😍😍😍😍 it was amzing

Love love love your tutorials. I dew for years and then life got in the way...but IM back. I've done several of these and I always see you using what appears to be a mechanical pencil.

I tried to do it but my bird looked like it was on steroids
Frostphantom mine look like he’s on crack
Mine looks like it’s on a gram of every drug per minute
Selrahc Gnat same what is steroids
That's really really amazing drawing but can somebody tell me, why HB pencil looks so dark like its B9??? Is there some secret or what??
Chris could you do different types of birds like maybe a peacock or an eagle (if you haven't done them) I'd love to see you do those more popular and prominent birds like birds of paradise.
EDIT: I see you have done and eagle head :P
Thanks for the suggestion!! :) I'm very happy to work on more bird drawings.

Beautiful and amazing, just what I needed!!! thanks so much!!!!
What pencil are you using and where did you get the blending stick
Using a Pentel P207 0.7mm mechanical pencil with HB hi-polymer leads. I found a set of 10 blending sticks by Daler Rowney on Amazon.
¡Tus videos son geniales! Éste me ha ayudado mucho para hacer mi dibujo, gracias por la explicación paso a paso. Tienes un talento brutal... saludos desde México
So beautiful!
