Owls are majestic creatures, often referred to as signs of wisdom, change, and new beginnings. While they can be rare to spot in the wild, you can try your hand at creating an owl of your own design today! Following this tutorial will give you the guidance and tools needed to create your very own, realistic owl drawing!
Step 1: Construction
A.We start with the body of the owl, the circle overlaps with the body, that will be the head. Add also 2 simple shapes for the legs, with a light sketch of the claws.
B. Next we add the wings and tail, basically all the elements with feathers.
C. Now it's time for the feathers. The tail is simple, it's like a fan of feathers in a row. The wings are a bit different, even though we place the feathers in rows they do overlap, as suggested in the drawing above.
D. To draw the face, we divide the circle with a cross so that we can place the features. Owls have this beautiful line from the arch of the brow down to the beak, the eyes are slightly covered by it.
Step 2: Line Art
A. Now that you are done with the construction it is time for the line art. As you advance with the line art, start adding details, like feather textures. Make sure to follow the form of the body.
B. Lastly, play with some patterns. Preferably using a textured brush, add rows of dots and patterns on the wings and tail. Making the tips of the feathers black is a nice touch, also don’t forget the ‘’eyebrows’’.
