Hello my dear Steemians,

I am grateful to @xpilar for hosting this weekly competition. I’m hoping my today’s pencil sketch may appeal to you.

Process of drawing

🎨Step 01🎨

First, I made a box with parallel marks on the top and bottom of a white paper. Then two curved lines draw the same far distance, which indicates the throat part. The neck of the Swan is quite long, so I made the line long and curvy. I made the front part of it in the shape of a swan’s head. After I used a pencil to blacken the beak’s upper portion.

🎨Step 02🎨

In the second step, I drew a wing of the swan. I have drawn some extra feather details while drawing it to give them some texture. And shading it with my pencil to make it more beautiful. First ,draw light lines around the borders of the swan’s feathers to represent its volume. As necessary, then deepen the shade.

🎨Step 03🎨

In the third step, I drew another layer of the wings above the first one. As well as the shade in the wings same way.

🎨Step 04🎨

After drawing the wings, I drew the lower body under the wings with added the tail. I have drawn the existence of water running in its lower part with pencil shade. By which is meant the stirring of the water as the swan swims.
