How to draw an owl

Step 1.
The first thing to do when drawing a cartoon owl is draw out the head shape which looks like an egg. Next add the facial guidelines and then draw a body circle shape which is a bit larger than the head shape.

Step 2.
Now you will draw the sides of the cartoon owls face which is rounded feather shapes. Once that is done use the facial guidelines you drew in step one to draw out the owl eyes as you see here. Be sure to color in the pupils.

Step 3.
You will now sketch out the actual shape of the owl's head which in this case it looks a bit flat on top. draw the busy feathered eyebrows and then an almond shapes nose and or beak. Draw the shape of the body or torso for your cartoon owl and then move to the next step.

Step 4.
Sketch out the shape and position of your cartoon owl's wings as you see here. Layer the lines to make the wings look full and attractive. When that is done draw an inner circle for the belly.

Step 5.
Here is your last drawing step and as you can see the only thing left to do here is draw out the cartoon owl's feet. He has three toes and three toe nails that need to be sketched in. One that is done you can detail and define the feet to make them look somewhat real. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one and move to the next step.

Step 6.
When you are done your bird should look like the one you see here. Color in the owl and you have finished your very own lesson on "how to draw a cartoon owl" step by step.
