This cartoon owl starts with one big egg shape, then you add tufts, big round eyes, a beak, wings and a branch. Watch each step being drawn in pencil, then copy it on your own paper. It works for kids from about age 4 and for adult beginners too.
Copy the dark lines in each step. The grey lines are the parts you already drew.
In the middle of your page, draw a big egg shape that is wider at the bottom. An owl's head and body are one shape, so keep the line smooth all the way around. Press lightly so you can fix it later.
▶ Watch this step
On the top left and top right of the body, draw two pointy tufts of feathers. They look like little cat ears.
▶ Watch this step
In the top half of the body, draw two large circles side by side. They can almost touch in the middle. Inside each circle, draw a dark pupil and leave a small white dot for the shine.
▶ Watch this step
Between the eyes and a little lower, draw a small pointy beak shaped like a triangle with round sides.
▶ Watch this step
On each side of the body, draw a long round wing. On the tummy, draw a big oval for the belly. Inside the belly, draw rows of little V shapes for feathers.
▶ Watch this step
Under the owl, draw a long branch going across the page. Draw two small feet with three round toes each, holding on to the top of the branch.
▶ Watch this step
Color the body light brown and the wings and tufts dark brown. Color the belly cream, the beak and feet orange, and the branch brown. Leave the eyes white with dark pupils.
▶ Watch this stepKeep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
The eyes can take up almost half of the head. Big eyes make the owl look cute.
Draw one eye, then copy the same size for the other one.
Keep the feather marks small and in neat rows.
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
Leave the body white and add small black dots for a snowy owl.
Colour your cartoon owl in, or keep practising with more ideas to copy.
