How to Draw an Owl

In fact, it looks like a large oval in the center of a piece of paper.

Correct the contour of the torso and draw the ears that look like two triangles.
- Add the outlines of the wings.
They are just two smooth, curved lines that are located to the side of the contour of the torso.

These are two smooth lines that form an angle at the top of our bird’s head.
- Draw the outer outlines of the eyes.
Owls have really large eyes. This is a very noticeable detail in the appearance of these birds.

These lines are parallel to the contours of the torso from the second step.

Place three rounded elongated shapes on each side as in my reference.
