How to Draw a Bald Eagle Head
Draw a bald eagle head in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.
Step 1: The head
In the upper right, draw a big head with a full cheek and flat top. Leave room for the beak.
Step 2: Huge hooked beak
Start high on the front of the head. Draw a huge beak to a sharp hook, back to the chin.
Step 3: Big eye
Behind the beak, draw 1 big round eye. Colour a big black dot, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Little brow
Just above the eye, draw 1 short curved brow line, like a little rainbow.
Step 5: Nostril
On top of the beak, near where it curves down, draw a tiny flat oval.
Step 6: Beak line
Start just behind the hook. Draw a gently smiling line back along the beak to the face.
Step 7: Shoulders
Start low on the left. Draw 1 big wide dome behind the head, down to the right. Close the bottom.
Step 8: Feather edge
Start on the left side of the dome. Draw a row of 6 soft bumps across to the right side.
Step 9: Yellow beak and eye
Colour the huge beak yellow, and a yellow ring round the eye.
Step 10: White head, brown shoulders
Leave the head and the neck above the bumps white. Colour the shoulders below the bumps brown.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bald eagle head, drawn by you.
