Come learn How to Draw a Phoenix, the mythical firebird. According to stories, this gigantic flying creature has a lifespan of 500 and 1000 years. The phoenix has to die in order to reproduce. At the sunset of its life, it builds a nest out of twigs and myrrh and ignites it. As the fire consumes the nest and the mythical bird, a baby phoenix will come out. Some say it is an offspring while many others say it is the same phoenix reborn and it will live another lifespan equal to its predecessor. Interesting, isn’t it? The phoenix then is seen as a symbol of immortality and rebirth. You can see it in mythology books and online sources and even on the Belgian € 10 coin symbolic of Europe’s 60th year of peace. But how would you like to see it firsthand in your own drawing? Follow the step by step How to Draw a Phoenix tutorial and sketch perhaps the largest bird of all time that graced myths and stories of old.
