Draw it step by step

Six steps to an eagle

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw one tall shape: a round head on top, a thin neck, and a wide chest. Wobbly is fine.

2

Spread the wings

One huge wing out to each side, wide and flat. Leave the ends bumpy, like fingers.

3

A hooked beak and an eye

A big beak on the side of the head that bends down at the tip. Then one round, curious eye.

4

Tail and feet

A tail that opens like a fan at the bottom. Tuck two little feet on top of it, each with two toes.

5

Add the feathers

A bumpy line across the neck, where the white head ends. Then a feather line on each wing.

6

Finishing touches

A puffy cloud up in the sky behind it. Now this eagle is yours.

Now draw an eagle looking down at something funny below.
