Owl is an owl of owls. He is huge and powerful. And I don't mind living with people. However, teaching him something is extremely difficult. Hunters have learned to use the eagle owl as a bird of prey. An eagle owl can easily lift by the ears or, but this is not the limit. He is so strong that he can even hunt falcons, hawks and. And that is not all. In addition to his strength, he is also very handsome, especially when flying. As a rule, it soars slowly above the ground and only occasionally flaps its huge wings. Its wingspan can be as long as two meters. It's more than growth ordinary person. That's why I'm happy to show how to draw an owl with a pencil.
Step one We draw two circles in the center of the sheet, and mark the branch on which the owl sits with horizontal lines. 
Step Two Next, denote the circumference of the head and tail. 
Step Three Let's add the legs and outline of the plumage. 
Step Four Draw the eyes and key of the owl. 
Step Five Let's add a couple of feathers and some shadows. And you get something like this bird: 
Well, how does it look like? Try draw an owl with a pencil and show your work. I'm going to have another reader contest. Read more in our Facebook group. I recommend that you try to draw other birds:
An owl can be easily identified by its appearance. It has a different color of feathers, but its beak is short and predatory, its claws are sharp and long, and its eyes are large and round. Before, tell the child more interesting information about this bird. For example, what does it eat and where does it live.
Parents along with the baby can learn in this lesson to get beautiful drawing birds.
Tools and materials:
- paper;
- pencil;
- eraser to remove unnecessary details;
- colored pencils for coloring.
Everything you need for drawing is there. Therefore, you can proceed to the stages to find out in detail, beautifully and realistically.
Drawing steps that will help you get:
- About that, many can learn from this lesson. In the first stage, we begin to draw the bird's head, which will consist of two "drops". We place them at an angle since the head is slightly turned. We connect the two contours with a small arc.
- Then we continue to depict a night bird and for this you need to find out. To do this, at the bottom of the picture, add a breast in the form of a semi-oval, and then draw another circle that will become the body of the bird. We remove the upper contour with an eraser and draw the tail below in the form of simple lines.
- Let's depict a branch consisting of two horizontal lines running parallel to each other. The bird is held on a branch with claws. We draw them in the form of oblong droplets that have sharp ends.
- In the middle of each "drop" on the muzzle, draw large eyes. We finish the pupils and a couple of highlights. Between the two figures we have a small beak, consisting of two parts.
- We finish the cilia and outline the outline.
- With a black pencil, paint over two pupils, a thin area around the eyes, long cilia and the upper part of the muzzle. We also draw a contour for them.
- We paint over the tree branch and the bird with a light brown pencil.
- We also use other shades of brown pencils to create volumetric plumage on the body and muzzle of an owl.
- The eyes will have a different shade

How to draw a realistic owl (owl) with a pencil step by step
- Step 1
We will not draw two circles. Instead, outline the shape of the future owl. Since you can’t draw an owl without a photo, choose a photo to your taste. The principle of drawing will remain the same. So, we draw the outline of an owl (or an owl if you have chosen an owl)
- Step 2
This is the most milestone: correctly draw a cross. 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, then the drawing may not work.
- Step 3
The crosspiece sets 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. D-pad is an easy and reliable way to draw heads (any head) correctly. We outline the location of the eyes and beak of the bird.
- Step 4
We draw a sketch of an owl, we specify how the wings will look, where the legs are. We draw ears, as it is an eared owl. We outline the mask in accordance with the cross. Mark correctly general proportions. It's not as easy as it seems - looking ahead, let's open little secret- it seemed to us that the body of the owl turned out to be short, and already at much later stages we had to correct this. 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 take a plank and stick the paper with tape, and hold the plank in front of your eyes at an angle of 45 degrees. It is in order to avoid distortion that 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: feathers on an owl grow in a certain direction, so you also need to draw them correctly. you can not draw feathers that stick out at an angle to the body of an owl, it will look unnatural. In order not to forget about feathers, we have drawn arrows showing that feathers grow from top to bottom.
- Step 7
Our owl drawing is starting 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 mask.
- Step 9
We draw feathers of an owl. Look carefully: on the abdomen of the owl, the feathers are short, like fluff, and on the wings they are long and hard, they allow the bird to fly. And all the feathers are colorful. Drawing variegated feathers is not easy, but it is a calm and peaceful activity. Don't rush or it won't look good. And do not 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 whole, different places pictures, collecting everything into a single composition.
- Step 10
Most importantly, the feathers lie in the shape of the body. And that means that even white feathers where there is a shadow will be dark. Therefore, when drawing feathers, try not to make your owl flat.
- Step 11
We almost drew an owl with a pencil. Don't forget - this is a lot of work, and it won't work out quickly. But now it's nearing its end. It remains to remove the dirt from the pencil and finish the owl's ear.
In this lesson we will try to tell you and show you how to draw an owl step by step pencil. Owls are one of the most common birds that can be found in any corner of our planet. Therefore, for children and not only it will be exciting and cognitive activity. The lesson consists of 6 steps, following which, step by step, you can draw an owl with a pencil. Let's get started already.
STEP #1
The first thing to do is draw an oval for the future head. Then we draw the body in the form of an egg, and then we add lines, as shown in the picture.
STEP #2
Now you need to draw the shape of the head, as in the picture. Pay attention to how the protruding feathers are drawn.
STEP #3
Here you have to draw the eyes of an owl in the form of eggs, and then feathery eyebrows.
STEP #4
We draw pupils, and then an almond-shaped beak, as it is done in the picture. See how easy it is to draw an owl. Is not it?
STEP #5
Now you can start drawing the body of the owl, starting with the shoulders and wings. Once that is done, you can draw the back.
STEP #6
On final stage, when the body of the owl is already drawn, you can start sketching the legs. Erase the lines and shapes you drew in the first step.
Now we will consider drawing an owl with a pencil in stages. To draw an owl, we must understand the structure of the feather and wings. Feathers are different small and fluffy, which are located on the head, chest, legs, medium-sized, which are located in the upper part of the feather, and long, which are located in the middle and lower parts of the wing. We have already considered the structure of the wing in the lesson.
Step 1. We need to draw an accurate sketch. With thin lines draw the contours of the head, body and wing. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Step 2. We draw a beak, area of legs and feathers.
Step 3. Draw the eyes and pupils, they are incomplete circles. Now we need to erase the outline (lighten) and in place of it with lines of different lengths create the appearance of feathers. Then draw the paws and trunk.
Step 4. In this figure the light source is on the left, so the tint is darker on the right. Add slanted hatching lines on the head representing small, soft feathers. Pay close attention to stroke directions, they are important as they help convey the illusion of depth. various forms. sketch the feathers different shapes and wing length. Add some twisted strokes on the feet of the paws to show the direction in which the tiny soft feathers are growing.
Step 5 Remember that the hatching lines used to draw the feathers come in different lengths and shades. The outlines do not end abruptly, but rather are feather-shaped (or jagged) to convey a more realistic appearance.
Using the 2H pencil, lightly shade the feathers on the left and central parts of the paws, the lower part of the body. With a 2B pencil, make an intermediate shadow on the right. Then, using the 2B and 4B pencils, add dark shades of feathers on the lower body, on the right shoulder, under the beak and under the wing. Draw a circle around the perimeter of the iris for the outer rim.
Step 6. Fill in these outer rims with a 2B pencil. Using a 6B pencil, paint over the pupil, leaving a highlight and draw dark shade on the beak.
Step 7. Using a 2H and HB pencil, paint over the eye and beak of the owl.
STEP 8. Use hard pencils to add more strokes on all areas of the head. Use 2H for highlights and 2B and 4B for darker areas. Add some tiny feather ovals on the forehead and sides of the head. The following picture shows the finished view of these ovals and in an increased resolution. If you want some of them to stand out more, then just go over them with your eraser to show and highlight the central parts of each.
Step 9. Use sharpened hard pencil and short strokes for drawing soft downy feathers on the owl's chest and legs.
Step 10. Shade the feathers on the owl's tail. Each feather has a dark tint on the right that fades into a light tint on the left. Add diagonal lines to individual feathers. Look closely at the drawing and notice that the diagonal lines drawn on each of the feathers complete the shading and bring out the details.
Step 11. Shade the feathers in the upper area of the wing, while the area on top is darker, as the shadow from the owl's head falls.
Step 12 Use pencils of different softness and shading with lines of different lengths to convey the texture of the feathers in the upper part of the wing. Individual feathers have light areas at the tips.
Step 13 Add dark shadows to the claws, leaving room for highlights. Use hatching with different lines to create the texture of the branch.
Step 14 If necessary, add more lines of your choice to complete the drawing. To create light areas, use an eraser, for dark areas, apply additional shading. Date and sign the drawing.
