Today, I'll be showing you how to create art for ABU. Once you've followed the steps, you'll become an ABU artist in no time!

Step 1:
Start creating your bird base, use a big canvas size, I use The Blues' canvas size (which is 550 x 475) most of the time. You can either use a circle, if the bird's body is shaped like a circle, use the bird and trace it, or just create the whole thing from scratch (which I feel is better). Do not outline it for the realistic feel and do not add shadows yet. We'll get to that later. Refer to original art for shape of the bird if needed.

Step 2:
Add the features of the bird like the eyes, beak, head/tail feathers, e.t.c. just start with the base of those parts. You may refer to original art if needed.

Step 3:
Add shade. If you do not have a program to shade, then you can do something like my artwork, which just includes putting 3 shades, like this. Make the eyes shine by putting white dots on them. Add shading on the beak, head feathers and tail feathers and under the eyebrows and eyelids.

Congratulations!
You should know about pretty much everything it takes to make ABU art. Thanks for reading this tutorial, and stay cool.
