Do you want to learn how to draw an owl? I have put together a step-by-step tutorial that will help you figure out how to draw owls  by using simple shapes to build up their form.

How to Draw Owls with Step by Step Drawing Tutorial

Step 1

First lightly sketch out a straight vertical (up and down) line. Then draw a diamond that at the top crosses into 2 upwards curved lines that sort of resembles a letter ‘v’.

Step 2

Now draw a curved line from the bottom of the line to the middle of the ‘v’ like shape that you just drew.

Step 3

Now just draw 2 horizontal lines at the bottom of the owl (for the owl’s perch). Draw a downwards curved line for the top of the owl’s head.

Step 4

Now draw the owl’s tail. Draw a square ‘u’ like shape. Also draw the a sideways number ‘3’ like shape  where the owl’s beak is.

Step 5

Draw the Owl’s claw that sort of looks like a capital ‘T’ that is formed by connecting 3 letter ‘v’s. Also draw the owl’s eyes by drawing a circle, then a smaller circle that is filled in. Erase a part out of this circle for the owl’s eye highlight.

Step 6 – Finished Drawing Tutorial of an Owl

Now put in some details such as lines all around the eye. Draw sideway number ‘3’ like shapes for feathers. Draw feather lines on the tail. You might want to paint it or color it in with crayons, colored pencils, or pastels. Have fun.

  • hey great owl but ur site doesn't have a how to draw a moon and i really want to use the owl in a great picture so plz were can i learn how to draw the moon!????

    • I'm sorry I missed this. To draw a Moon...get a cup. Trace the cup so that you have a circle. Then Take a smaller cup and put it halfway thru the first circle. Trace the smaller cup now. You will now have a moon. Erase the lines that aren't part of the moon shape. This shape is also called a crescent. I hope this helps.
