How to Draw an Owl

How to Draw an Owl   Owls are nocturnal hunters that know how to hide, so its hard to see them in real life. But once you simplify the owl 's image it is easy to break them down into a couple of lines, and actually draw a good-looking owl in just six steps.

In the upper third of your drawing space draw a nearly perfectly round circle, but make the circle just a bit wider on the left and right sides than it is on the top and bottom. This creates the owl 's head. 2) Now draw the body. Draw a large oval at least twice the size of the circle, just below the circle, but so that the two shapes overlap by about 10 to 20% of the circle.

The length should be about twice the width of the tail. 4) Add the wings inside the oval. Next, draw two long arcs insid...

While some of them are true finches and belong to the Fringillidae family, other similar bird families are widely called "finches".
