Flightless

• I really feel sorry for the bird that is tied to a chain, how can it fly? It screams in pain or asks for help, but the bird owner misinterprets it as if it were a sweet song.

• The tools used are one black-ink pen and a sheet of white paper.

• The first step we will make is a sketch of a bird on a chain

• Next, we make the image of the bird appear more clearly.

• Moving on to the shading process for this drawing, work slowly and avoid pressing the pen too hard, so that the result remains light.

• Once the shading on the bird is complete, we will now add pen strokes to the chain that binds the bird.
