This is a simple black-and-white stencil drawing of a bird. The bird has a round body, a long beak, and two long, curved tail feathers. Its legs are short and straight, and it stands on a flat surface. The bird’s shape is made with clean, bold lines and shading. The feathers and body blend smoothly into one another, creating a sense of depth. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
