To draw an eagle, you need to focus on the basic shapes and proportions of the bird. The wings should be strong and wide, with a sharp beak and curved neck.
Understanding the Basic Shapes of an Eagle
Divide the paper into seven sections, including the head, neck, body, wings, tail, legs, and talons. Eagle drawing can be started from the body.
Step 1: Drawing the Head and Neck
- Draw two vertical lines to create the eye sockets and a curved shape for the beak.
- The curved line for the beak should be in an upward angle for an eagle.
- The head should be upside down from the beak.
Step 2: Creating the Body
- The body should be parallel to the head but at an angle to convey movement.
- Draw two parallel curved lines for the chest to attach the wings.
- Pay attention to the formation of the wings as this is a key aspect of an eagle's appearance.
Step 3: Developing the Wings
- Draw two wide wings that go both upwards and curved backwards.
- The leading edge of the wing should be more rounded than the trailing edge for an eagle.
- Use short lines for the wing joints.
Step 4: Tuple and Tail
- Draw the wingspan with a slight gap, as it is smooth on one side and deep on the other.
- Two distinct lines make up the dual flock of an eagle's tail.
Step 5: Fine Details
- Define the separate details of the feathers, eyes, and beak with a liner that correspond to the head.
- This can be achieved through saving details until last.
Step 6: Final Touches
- Colorize and finalize drawing using markers or paints for effect.
- Cosmetic artists usually use high or medium contrast to emphasize their art.
