How to Draw an Eagle Face Lesson and Worksheet

I am delighted to share my free printable drawing worksheet for How To Draw An Eagle Face.

Here is a lesson for the young artist and a worksheet.

Print the worksheet, highlight it, send it to your printer, or save it to your device to print later. If you have problems printing, visit the HOW TO PRINT tab above for suggestions.

Eagles are beautiful and awesome creatures. You might feel the first effort to draw one is not successful. I recommend you make a few practice sketches; this is what professional artists do all the time. After you have worked out some of the hard parts, then try to do a serious project.

I am glad to create these worksheets for you, and I hope you enjoy them. You are welcome to print as many of my How-to-draw worksheets as you need. 



The basic head shape is a circle.

Draw the top of the beak as a line. It starts a little above halfway; draw it out and down.
The bottom of the beak is not a straight line but jagged.

The eye is a circle cut off at the top by the eyebrow.
The eyebrow tilts down at both ends.

After you get the basic shape, modify the back of the head by extending the line out and down.
Draw a circle for the shoulder under the beak.

The eye has a black center, and a shiny spot in the middle makes it a square, and be careful not to color over it.

The feathers on the body are slightly rounded at the tip.
The feathers on the shoulder are shorter and more rounded.

Color the feathers grey and use only a little black for the details.
The beak and the eye are yellow.
Add a little blue for the shadows on the white feathers.

To make the head look really white, add a little color to the background behind it.  Sometimes you can do this by rubbing a little tissue over the pencil and smearing it around a soft grey look that makes the white look whiter.
