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 outline the shape of the future owl. Since you can’t draw an owl without a photo, choose a photo to suit your taste. The drawing principle will remain the same. So, we draw the outline of an owl (or an eagle owl, if you chose an eagle owl)


  • Step 2

    This is the most important stage: draw the cross correctly. She will help us draw the eyes and mask of the owl correctly. The eyes should be at the same level. If you do not draw a cross, the drawing may not work out.


  • Step 3

    The cross determines the tilt of the head and the location 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, specifying what the wings will look like and where the legs are. We draw the ears, since this is a long-eared owl. We outline the mask in accordance with the cross. Correctly outline the general proportions. This is not as simple as it seems - looking ahead, let's reveal a little secret - it seemed to us that the owl's body was short, and at much later stages we had to correct this. Look carefully at the proportions.
    Important: When drawing on the plane of the table (if the paper is on your table), you see the drawing from a perspective. It’s 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. It is precisely to avoid distortion that artists paint on easels.


  • Step 5

    We outline the shadows, this will make it easier for us to decide where the owl’s wings are and where the legs are.


  • Step 6

    You can carefully shade the shadows on our owl. Dark places will be where less light reaches. The bird's muzzle and head are the brightest and most contrasting. Important: the feathers on an owl grow in a certain direction, so you also need to draw them correctly. You can’t draw feathers that stick out at an angle to the owl’s body, it will look unnatural. So that you don't forget about feathers, we have drawn arrows showing that feathers grow from top to bottom.


  • Step 7

    Our owl drawing begins to be more detailed - we have drawn the owl's head and eyes. Of course, we will return to them later.


  • Step 8

    We continue to draw with a pencil. Here we can emphasize more soft pencil eyes and a dark outline around the owl's mask.


  • Step 9

    Drawing owl feathers. Look carefully: on the owl’s belly the feathers are short, like down, and on the wings they are long and hard, they allow the bird to fly. And all the feathers are colorful. Drawing colorful feathers is not easy, but it is a calm and peaceful activity. Don't rush, otherwise it won't be pretty. And don't get hung up on one place - look at the picture as a whole. Otherwise, the owl will seem to be drawn in parts that are not connected to each other. Draw holistically, in different places of the picture, collecting everything into a single composition.


  • Step 10

    The most important thing is that the feathers lie according to the shape of the body. This means that even white feathers where there is shadow will be dark. Therefore, when drawing feathers, try not to make your owl flat.


  • Step 11

    We almost drew the owl with a pencil. Don't forget - this is a long-term job, and it won't happen quickly. But now it is nearing completion. All that remains is to remove the dirt from the pencil and finish drawing the owl’s ear.

By the light of the stars in the silence of the night

An owl sits on an old tree.

Everyone fell asleep, not a soul was visible.

The owl decided: It's time to fly!

Draw in the center of the sheet with a simple pencil big long oval.

At the top of the large oval, draw a second smaller oval, placing it across the first.


Draw two touching circles, inscribing them in the second oval - these are the eyes of the owl. Draw two lines at the bottom - this is the future branch.


Draw a triangle - a beak. Draw the owl's tummy inside the large oval, and outline the wings behind the oval line. Draw ears, pupils, claws on a branch, and a tail.

Erase the extra lines with an eraser. Color the owl's eyes and belly with a yellow pencil (We painted with wax crayons) .Use a brown pencil to paint over the tail, wings, head and ears, draw feathers on the belly, paint a rainbow mesh on the eyes. Dark brown pencil paint over the twig and the pupils of the eye. Color the claws and beak, leaving their centers light - so they look voluminous. And then you can start decorating the background. Here are the works of the children of our senior group.

IN Lately owls have become very popular, so let's draw together horned owl or Great Eagle Owl.

How to draw an owl with a pencil step by step

Let's start with a sketch. To complete the first steps, do not press too hard on the pencil; the lines should be light and even.

Step 1: Draw an oval on the top of the sheet. Leave some space at the bottom for the owl's body. It doesn't have to be even. This is just a sketch for the owl's head.

Step 2: Inside the future head, draw two intersecting lines - they will help you correctly position the features of the owl’s head in the future.

Step 3: Draw two small circles—the base for the eyes—above the horizontal line.

Step 4: Draw two triangle-like shapes on the owl's head as a base for the tufts of feathers where the ears would be.

Step 5: At the point where the lines intersect, draw the base for the beak in the shape of a kite or diamond.

Step 6: Draw a large slanted oval to represent the torso, below the head. It may not be perfect - it's just a sketch.

Step 7: Draw a U-shaped arc below the body to represent the future tail.

Step 8: Draw a few curved lines at the bottom of the sheet, under the body - these will be the paws. Start with a C-shaped arc, then add a couple more curved lines to complete the base of the paws.

Step 9: Draw the owl's beak using the diamond shape as a guide. Smooth the edges.

Step 10: Draw tufts of feathers based on the original triangular shape. These are not horns or ears. These are just tufts of feathers, so draw with quick, short strokes. Inside each ear, draw a line using the same quick and short strokes; bring this line to the eyes and beak of the owl. Do the same with the other ear. Final result The shape will resemble the letter V.

Step 11: Draw the owl's eyes, using rough circles as a basis. Draw lines at the top of the eyes to represent the eyelids. Darken the eye contour and draw a small line under the eyes for detail. Inside each eye, draw a circle and darken the pupil. Leave part of the pupil unobscured to create a stare effect.

Step 12: Use sharp, short strokes to complete the head. Don't forget about the original oval shape.

Step 13: For more detail, add additional lines. Use sharp, short strokes when adding details to create a feathered effect.

Step 14: While drawing the paws, look at the sketch lines. You can deviate from the lines to make the toes thicker; Add a rounded claw to the end of each. Draw the remaining fingers in the same way. In a normal sitting position, an owl has two fingers - front and back. I forgot about this while creating the drawing, so you can change your drawing - it won't take long.

Step 15: Complete the body with an oval base. Draw curved lines along the sides - these will be the wings. Please note that with right side the line is superimposed on the body and goes down to the tail.

Step 16: Draw the tail, the base is a U-shaped line. Add several of the same lines to it to imitate feathers.

Step 17(optional): To prevent the owl from appearing suspended in the air, draw some support (a rock or a branch) near its feet.

Step 18(optional): To make the owl look neater, erase all the rough lines if possible. You don't have to wash everything. You can also re-draw any lines you accidentally erased.

Final step(optional): Darken some areas to give your owl volume and three-dimensionality. Determine your light source when shading so your shadows don't clash with each other. Vary the pressure on the pencil to achieve different degrees of shading quality.

For extra detail, you can add character to your drawing. The pattern may appear more intricate than it actually is. It mainly consists of dots different sizes and small chaotic lines.

Translation of an article from how2drawanimals.com.

Good afternoon, we are back in touch and ready to draw again! We hope you are ready too. The last thing you and I drew was tulips, it was a couple of weeks ago, just on March 8th. Today we will show you how to draw an owl step by step with a pencil. Let's look ahead a little and warn you that the most difficult part of today's lesson will be working with color. To color the owl you will draw, you will need a large number of nerves and time!

Let's talk about owls! Are you a night owl or a lark? Do you know what we mean? When are you most comfortable working? Day or night? It's different here. The author of our drawing, Dasha, is also a morning person (although she loves to sleep), she works during the day, or in the evening. But many, on the contrary, cannot or do not like to work during the day. They prefer to work at night: there is no one to distract them, there are no temptations to scroll through the VKontakte news feed or watch funny videos on Youtube.

Here we are casually asking you about your bird affiliation! So, are you a night owl or a lark? If you are an owl, then you simply must complete our lesson today and draw this owl (fortunately, everything is laid out step by step). There can't even be any questions here. But if you are a morning person, then... let me think... you should also cope with the task and draw this owl. If you can handle it, we will definitely make a special step-by-step drawing lesson especially for you. Guess who we'll draw? That's right, lark!!! But that will come a little later.

By the way, if you are not yet our regular reader, then press CTRL+D on your keyboard now, this will allow you to add our site to your browser bookmarks. By adding a site, you definitely won’t miss our article with a lesson on how to draw a lark step by step.

Step 1:
First we need to draw two circles, this is the basis of our owl. Two circles in the shape of a figure eight, the upper part is slightly smaller for the head, the lower circle is for the owl’s body, slightly larger. From below we will immediately draw the paws, or rather the claws of an owl, because our owl is sitting on a tree branch.

Draw the base, outline, of our owl

Step 2:
At this stage of the lesson Let's draw the outline of the wing of our bird, as well as the branch of the tree on which it sits.

We draw a tree branch on which the owl sits and its wing

Step3:
At this stage, draw two lines on the owl's face, one vertical, the other horizontal, at the intersection of the lines there will be a point where you need to draw the beak.

Step 4:
We begin to draw the eyes, they are large and bulging. You need to draw two circles, one is the outline of the eyes, the other is the pupils.

Step 7:
Our owl is looking at a round object that looks like soap bubble. This object was invented by the artist to capture the gaze of an owl. This is an abstract object, you can draw it or not. The owl's gaze follows this bubble, its pupils are riveted to it.
