How To Draw All Angry Birds Characters

This lesson, let's draw two characters from Angry Birds – the extremely popular game, one that's made to be played on a variety of hand-held devices – those like iPhone, Android, and iPad.

And yes – we'll focus in on one character from each side.

From the Bird's side, it'll be "The Red Bird" – known for it's unique battle cry, as well as being a great way to *pop* Piggies, from their positions.

And then from the Piggy's side – it's a take on the standard-looking small to medium "Minion" pig.

First thing about this lesson – it's meant to be a 'homage' to the actual characters in the game.

So yes, while these designs certainly *look close* to the originals…

They're actually different, a slightly unique twist – helping to encourage some creativity, along the way.

Now – down to the basic shapes, drawing both characters at the same time…

It all begins with two circles, like so…

Continuing onward – you can see how I'm attempting to develop each character, slightly differently, given that yes – their physical features, call for different line strokes, at different times.

There's a bit more going on with Minion Pig's face, for example. So more time is needed to bring the mouth area into view.
