To draw an owl easily, follow these simple step-by-step instructions:
- Draw Basic Shapes
- Start with a rounded square for the body.
- Add a sideways oval overlapping the top of the body for the head.
- Divide the head into quarters with a vertical and horizontal line to help place features
- Sketch the Eyes and Beak
- Draw two large circles for the eyes near the top of the head. Inside each, add a smaller circle for the pupil and leave a highlight spot.
- Draw a small circle or diamond shape for the beak just below the eye intersection lines
- Outline the Wings and Tail
- Roughly sketch teardrop shapes on each side of the body for wings, tapering to points at the bottom.
- Add a U-shaped line at the bottom of the body for the tail
- Add Details
- Draw small curved lines or zigzags on the head for feather tufts that look like ears.
- Add feather texture with small wavy lines on the body and wings.
- Sketch feet with small ovals or upside-down U shapes overlapping the bottom of the body
- Finalize the Drawing
- Trace over your pencil lines with a pen or marker for a clean outline.
- Erase any unnecessary guidelines.
- Optionally, add a branch beneath the feet to ground your owl
