How to draw a realistic owl (eagle owl) with a pencil step by step
- Step 1
We will not draw two circles. Instead, let's sketch out the shape of the future owl. Since you can't draw an owl without a photo, choose a photo of your choice. The drawing principle will remain the same. So, we draw the outline of an owl (or an owl, if you chose an owl)
- Step 2
This is the most important step: to draw the cross correctly. It will help us draw the owl's eyes and mask correctly. The eyes should be at the same level. If you don't draw the cross, the drawing may not work.
- Step 3
The cross determines the tilt of the head and the position of the eyes. Draw all the necessary auxiliary lines, otherwise one eye will be higher than the other. The cross is a simple and reliable way to draw heads (any head) correctly. We outline the location of the bird's eyes and beak.
- Step 4
We draw a sketch of an owl, clarify how the wings will look, where the legs are. We draw the ears, as this is a long-eared owl. We outline the mask in accordance with the cross. Mark the overall proportions correctly. This is not as easy as it seems - looking ahead, let us reveal a little secret - it seemed to us that the owl's torso turned out to be short, and already at much later stages we had to fix it. Look carefully at the proportions.
Important: drawing on the plane of the table (if the paper is on your table), you see the drawing in perspective. Better to take a board and glue the paper with tape, and hold the board in front of your eyes at an angle of 45 degrees. Precisely in order to avoid distortion, artists paint on easels.
- Step 5
We outline the shadows, so it will be easier for us to decide where the owl has wings and where are its legs.
- Step 6
You can carefully shade the shadows on our owl. Dark places will be where there is less light. The muzzle and head of the bird are the brightest and most contrasting. Important: the feathers on the owl grow in a certain direction, so you also need to draw them correctly. you cannot draw feathers that stick out at an angle to the body of the owl, it will look unnatural. Lest you forget about feathers, we drew arrows to show that feathers grow from top to bottom.
- Step 7
Our owl drawing is starting to get more detailed - we drew the head and eyes of the owl. Of course, we will return to them later.
- Step 8
We continue to draw with a pencil. Here you can already emphasize the eyes and the dark outline around the owl mask with a softer pencil.
- Step 9
Draw owl feathers. Look carefully: on the abdomen of the owl, the feathers are short, like down, and on the wings - long and hard, they allow the bird to fly. And all the feathers are motley. Drawing colorful feathers is not easy, but it is a calm and peaceful activity. Do not rush, otherwise it will be ugly. And don't get stuck in one place - look at the picture as a whole. Otherwise, the owl will seem to be drawn by parts that are not connected to each other. Draw as a whole, in different places of the picture, collecting everything into a single composition.
- Step 10
Most importantly, the feathers are in the shape of the body. This means that even white feathers where there is a shadow will be dark. Therefore, when drawing feathers, try not to flatten your owl.
- Step 11
We almost drew an owl with a pencil. Do not forget - this is many hours of work, and it will not work out quickly. But now it is nearing completion. It remains to remove the dirt from the pencil and finish drawing the owl's ear.
Who is considered the wisest and most mysterious in the world of birds? The bird that lives nightlife and keeps many secrets? Of course, this is an owl - beautiful, with rich plumage and incredibly large intelligent eyes. She has always attracted the interest of artists. Today we invite everyone to learn how to draw an owl.

Therefore, learning how to portray a popular bird will be an exciting experience for both aces and beginners.
You don't need to be a professional to get beautiful drawings that are one-to-one similar to the original. It is enough to stock up on a sheet of white paper, simple pencils and a good mood. After all, it is known that everything that is done with joy and desire is given easily and is doubly wonderful.
In the first lesson, "how to draw an owl in stages", we suggest practicing on the diagram of a small bright chick sitting on a green branch of a tree. First and second step - draw two circles and a beak in a triangle with a pencil.
Third and fourth step- Mark the body as an oval and add small semicircular wings to it on both sides. These will be the head, wings and eyes.
On last stages we designate a mask around the eyes, from the sides of the calf at the bottom we draw legs in the form of four stripes. We finish drawing small ears and feathers for him. We outline the lines, draw the last missing details, and then color the picture. It turned out to be a nice little gentle owlet.
The following diagram fully reveals the secrets of how to draw an owl with a pencil. It looks as if it were alive, and it seems that the twig will now sway and the bird will flap its large wings to fly into the sky.
You should start with the image of thin ovals - large and slightly smaller, then finish drawing the wing.
Now we need to make the owl expressive eyes, a long beak, legs and add feathers.
Using only simple pencils of varying degrees of softness, depict lines on the head, fluff on the chest and feathers on the wings.
Pictures of such an owl do not need paints, it looks great in gray - so important, thoughtful with a deep penetrating look.
Everyone will understand how to draw the next owlet. Especially this scheme will be interesting for children, since along with drawing, you can learn a poem about a little chick.
With an unusual description, the child does the job much more fun and easier, the image is brighter, more fun, more beautiful.
Let's try to depict with a pencil one more image of a wise bird in stages. Its main distinguishing features are its small beak and huge gas, intelligent and very deep. Their expressiveness should be emphasized in the owl in the drawing.
Her neck is small, but at the same time it rotates almost 180 degrees. The bird has powerful claws on its paws, the tail resembles a fan, and the wings are always covered with unusual plumage patterns.
Here is another interesting sketching scheme. It depicts a cute owlet, but a little sad. By adding a small smile to its beak, you can turn it into a cheerful and cheerful bird. This will not spoil his wise and mysterious appearance at all, on the contrary, it will give him even more attractiveness.

Simple image for a child: how to draw an owl in stages
These options are not difficult at all, perfect for a child, because here you only need. As a result, you should have a cartoon owl.
Method 1
- Let's start drawing the owl from the head and body. They are 2 ovals. The body is round, and the head is elongated horizontally. Draw the belly of the owl from the bottom of the body. It will be pulled down a little.
- Now let's digress a little from the very shape of our bird and outline a tree branch on which it will sit. Draw a couple of leaves on it. This is an important detail, as without it the drawing will seem illogical and incomplete.
- Now let's go back to the owl and draw its tail. Do not forget that the tail goes behind the tree branch, so we will not see some part of it. You can throw in the tail feathering a little using parallel vertical lines.
- Now let's draw her legs. They will consist of 3 fingers visible to us. Each of them is an elongated oval or rounded narrow rectangle. The branch line inside the legs should be erased.
- Now let's move on to drawing the face. We draw the cheeks and beak. And then - large long eyebrows that go beyond the boundaries of the head.
- Now draw 2 arcs in each of the cheeks. And in the center there is a black round pupil.
- The finishing touches are the wings folded along the torso and the feathers on them, indicated by wavy lines.
Method 2
The image of this owl is a predatory but kind bird, the keeper of secrets we'll start again with the torso... It resembles a strawberry in shape - a triangle with rounded corners or, only without an upper depression.
Now let's draw the head - an elongated oval, it should go slightly over the body. We will make the owl cheeks by rounding the bottom line of the head, in the center connecting it with the line of the body (lifting it up). Now we will erase all unnecessary lines so that they do not distract while working.
The next step is wings... These are ovals, the lower end of which is pointed. The upper edge goes over the owl's head, and the lower edge protrudes slightly to the side. So we draw the left wing for us, while the right one will only slightly peep out from behind the body, since our owl is slightly turned to us with one side. Therefore, we will draw a small arc near the upper body.
Now a short tail on the left side, a beak at the intersection of lines and lush eyebrows protruding above the head. Their inner edges must be connected to the beak with two lines. Of the uncompleted parts, there are still legs - rounded, with 3 fingers. And also the eyes... To draw them, draw an additional arc, almost forming a circle with lines connecting the eyebrows and beak. And inside - the elongated pupils of the predator. Another cartoon and simple drawing of an owl for a child is ready! You can color them in or leave them black and white.

How to draw an owl.
Every hunter wants to know where he sits ... Who? - they usually say: Owl!
Owl? And what kind of bird is this, and what is the use of this hunter?
Who else, but I approach the study of birds both as a biologist and as an artist. A little biology first. The eagle owl belongs to the owl-shaped - in general, it is an owl. It is widespread in Europe everywhere, but everywhere it is not enough - it is just not widespread, due to the reduction of habitats suitable for their habitat, the number of eagle owls is decreasing.
Owls are included in the Red Book. How sad to learn such things.
Now let's move on to the artistic part - How to draw an owl in stages.
The eagle owl is a large bird, Wikipedia says: the body length is from 35 to 75 cm ... Nothing so! 75! - it's even scary to imagine.
The body is dense and powerful. The wings are large, pointed. Eagle owls are nocturnal predators with fast, quiet, very maneuverable flight.
Round head on a movable neck. The facial disc is not very pronounced - the head is like a head. The eyes are very large - orange under the frowning eyebrows look harsh. There is an original decoration on the head - ear feathers. The beak is large, curved and painted black.
The paws are strong, the fingers are of the same structure as those of woodpeckers and cuckoos - two look forward, two back, this provides increased tenacity. The claws are huge, curved, sharp. The owl not only catches mice and worms, he can grab and lift a goose or a hare.
Here - we have drawn the Owl coloring page.
Let's paint: the plumage of the owl is beige, rusty-yellowish with large black markings - the look is motley, but at the same time - the color creates an excellent camouflage.
