### Materials For The Construction & Painting
* Strongboard * Pencil HB grade * Eraser * Ruler * A piece of a mattress * paper cutter * Black pen * cotton
### Step 1 I started by cutting a 13cm by 25cm rectangle from my strongboard. This board is both my drawing area and a piece I can hang on the wall. ### Step 2
I began by drawing the head of bird first . It stands on the paper. The bird is looking at the back. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQhsXpGbgBJYGtRCwCaFJgkLzKykNhZ3iKyQogrjC18qB/image.png)
### Step 3 Slowly I started to draw the nose, eyes and beak of bird . I outlined the head also.
