How To Draw The Baltimore Ravens Symbol |
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before we dive into the artistic abyss, let’s ensure you have the necessary tools. You’ll need:
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
- A pencil: This is not a weapon, despite its sharp appearance. Use it gently.
- Paper: Something to draw on. Avoid using your neighbor’s cat.
- Eraser: For mistakes. Or for erasing your neighbor’s cat if you accidentally drew on it.
- Confidence: This is the most crucial tool. If you don’t believe in yourself, your drawing will look like a confused bird tried to doodle.
Step 2: Start with the Basics
The Ravens logo is essentially a bird with a mean look. Let’s break it down.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- The Head: Draw a slightly tilted oval. This will be the bird’s head. Don’t worry about perfection, we’re aiming for "characterful."
- The Body: Attach a larger oval to the head. This is the body. It should look like the head is about to swallow a grape whole.
- The Beak: Add a triangular shape to the bottom of the head for the beak. It should look like the bird is perpetually surprised.
Step 3: Adding Details
Now, let’s give our bird some personality.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
- Eyes: Draw two small, beady eyes. If you want to make the bird look particularly angry, add tiny, angry eyebrows.
- Feathers: Draw some jagged lines around the bird’s body to represent feathers. Don’t overthink it. Just scribble a bit.
- The Helmet: Add a helmet-like shape around the bird. Think of it as a bird wearing a tiny football helmet.
Step 4: The Finishing Touches
Almost there!
- The Color: Traditionally, the Ravens logo is purple and black. But hey, you’re an artist! Feel free to experiment with neon green and hot pink if you dare.
- Background: Consider adding a football field or a raven's nest. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, draw a pizza.
And there you have it! A homemade Baltimore Ravens logo. It might not be hanging in the Louvre, but it's a masterpiece in your heart.
How to Make Your Ravens Logo Even Better
- Practice makes perfect: The more you draw, the better you'll get. Unless you're drawing cats. Then you'll just get more cats.
- Reference the real logo: Take a look at the official Ravens logo for inspiration. But remember, copying is for artists, stealing is for lawyers.
- Add your own flair: Make it your own! Add a hat, sunglasses, or even a tiny football to the bird.
