Begin this simple lesson by drawing the guidelines and shapes for your two swans. First, draw two small circles for the heads, and then draw a long neck line which connects to egg like shapes for their bodies.

2

Begin sketching out the shapes of their heads and their bills or beaks like you see here. Notice that the heads touch but the bills don't. Color in some dots for the eyes, and move to step three.

3

Continue to draw out their heads and then incorporate the same lining to form the necks like so. Draw in the marking outline on the top of the beaks like so, and then shade in that area as well.

4

Now what you will do here is draw out the rest of their heads, and then draw out the long necks so they form a heart when put together. Can't you tell that they are in love?

5

You are almost done. All you need to do now is sketch out the feathery bodies like so, and then make sure that they are neatly drawn in, and they look great too.

6

For the last drawing step, all you need to do is draw in some feather detailing like so, and then color in the upper parts of their bills black just like they really look in person. Erase the lines and shapes you drew in step one to clean up your dra

Now that you are all done with the sketch, you should end up with a drawing that looks just like the one you see here. Now you have something awesome to make a valentines day card out of. Be sure to add plenty of hearts, roses and of course the color

Description: I have another beautiful tutorial that is going to show you "how to draw swans", step by step. To my amazement, out of all the lessons I have submitted here so far, I only did one lesson on the swan. What inspired me to do another tutorial on this fantastic bird, is the fact that Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, so I thought an awesome tutorial on two swans with their heads touching each other forming a love heart would be something that folks would enjoy drawing especially for the upcoming holiday season. There are no two birds that give off a display of love, peace, and beauty then two swans on a lake together. Drawing your swans is going to be pretty simple, and the great thing about this tutorial is the fact that you can add some really cool features or perks to make your drawing look like a picture perfect Valentine’s Day card. Now you can say I love you without even writing the words because as soon as your sweetheart sees the two swans in the form of a heart, he/she will already know what the message is. I had so much fun making these birds. I think you too will enjoy teaching yourself "how to draw swans" as well. Stick around guys because I have more fun coming your way.
