This time we’re going to show you not just one, but two easy step-by-step tutorials on how to draw an owl. Both owl drawing tutorials are really simple, with the first tutorial taking you through a more cartoonish owl, while the second tutorial takes you through a more realistic looking owl (but still super easy).

Owls are really beautiful and are a great bird to draw during the fall. With this nocturnal bird, we can’t just have one tutorial, as there are many ways you can draw an owl – so we’ll share two. One is a more quirky looking owl that shines when colored in different colors, and one is more realistic but still really easy to draw.
Also check out this tutorial on how to draw a fox, another fun fall project, as well as a tutorial on how to draw a bat.
How to draw an owl step by step
What you need:
Step 1
Start by drawing a slightly rounded U shape.
Step 2
Connect the end points of the U shape with a curved “valley”.
Step 3
Draw the eyes. Start with the outer circles and then draw another circle inside the first circle.
Step 4
Draw a beak between the eyes.
Step 5
Add details around the eyes – small curves around both eyes (young children can skip this step).
Step 6
Draw two curves for the wings.
Step 7
Add legs.
Step 8
Draw details on the owl’s belly and wings.
Step 9
You have just learned how to draw an owl. Color your owl drawing.
Step 1
Start by drawing an oval for the owl’s head.
Step 2
Draw a beak in the bottom half of the oval.
Step 3
Draw another oval or “flat heart” shape starting from the beak.
Step 4
Draw two large black (or other colored) circles for the owl’s eyes.
Step 5
Continue drawing two triangles on top of the owl’s head to make the owl’s “ears” – feathers.
Step 6
The U shape below the head will form the body.
Step 7
Two curves on either side complete the wings.
Step 8
Final touches – draw legs and an upside down U shape inside the body to add detail to the owl’s body.
Step 9
Done! You have learned how to draw a simple and realistic owl. All that is left is to color your owl drawing.
