How to Draw an Owl: Easy Step-by-Step for Kids

Owls are wise, mysterious birds with the most expressive faces in the animal kingdom. Here is how to draw a beautiful owl perched on a branch!

What You'll Need

• Pencil
• Eraser
• Paper
• Brown, orange, and white markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Round Head

Draw a large circle for the owl's head — owls have unusually large, round heads compared to their body. Make it big and perfectly round.

Step 2: Draw the Two Huge Eyes

In the centre of the head, draw two very large circle eyes close together. Owl eyes are enormous — take up most of the front face space. Inside each eye, draw a circle iris and a large round pupil. Add white highlight dots.

Step 3: Add the Facial Disc

Around both eyes together, draw the owl's facial disc — a heart-shaped or oval outline that frames the eyes. This disc of feathers channels sound to the owl's ears. Draw it as a curved frame around the whole eye area.

Step 4: Draw the Beak

Between the two eyes at the lower centre of the face, draw a small downward-hooked beak — like a small sharp downward curve. Owl beaks point downward, not forward.

Step 5: Add the Ear Tufts

At the top corners of the head, draw two small ear tufts — pairs of elongated feathers pointing upward. Not all owls have these, but they add great character.

Step 6: Draw the Body

Below the head, draw a rounded, slightly elongated body — narrower than the head. Owls have a compact, upright body posture when perched.

Step 7: Draw the Wings

Draw two folded wings on each side of the body. Each wing is a series of curved, overlapping feather rows — draw three or four layers of feather edges across each wing.

Step 8: Draw the Perch Branch and Talons

Below the body, draw a thick branch. Add the owl's talons gripping the branch — three toes pointing forward and one backward, each ending in a curved claw.

Adding Colour

Owls come in wonderful patterns — mottled brown, grey, and white with streaked markings. The facial disc is usually pale cream or white. The large eyes have orange, yellow, or dark eyes depending on species. Add intricate brown and tan stripe patterns across the feathers.

Tips from Parikshet

• Enormous eyes are the defining feature of an owl — if the eyes don't take up most of the face, they won't look like an owl.
• The facial disc framing the eyes is what gives owls their unique heart-shaped face appearance.
• Layered feather rows on the wings and body add the texture that makes an owl look real rather than flat.
