How to Draw an Owl Face
Draw an owl face in 9 easy steps, about 7 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: big round head.
Step 1: Big round head
Draw a big soft egg lying on its side, filling most of the page, with fat cheeks.
Tip No corners anywhere: round on top, wider at the cheeks.
Step 2: Two ear tufts
On each top corner of the head, draw a fat feather tuft leaning out, with a soft round tip.
Step 3: Two huge eyes
Across the middle, draw 2 huge circles, a thumb apart. In each, add a big black dot with 2 shines.
Tip Owl eyes are enormous, nearly a third of the head.
Step 4: The beak
Between and below the eyes, draw a fat teardrop beak, point down.
Tip Keep the beak a finger clear of the eyes and chin.
Step 5: Heart face
Start at the top left of the beak. Draw a big heart around both eyes, back down to the beak.
Step 6: Chin feathers
Under the heart face, start below each eye and draw 2 little bumps over to the beak.
Step 7: Forehead feathers
In the middle of the forehead, above the heart, draw a short row of 3 little bumps.
Step 8: Yellow eyes and beak
Colour the eyes and beak yellow, leaving the black dots and white shines.
Step 9: Tan face, brown head
Colour the heart face tan. Then colour the head and ear tufts brown around the heart face.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an owl face, drawn by you.
