The eagle is a large and powerful bird. It has a large, hooked beak, ideal for tearing meat from its prey. This tutorial will show you how to draw an eagle.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Eagle Perched on a Branch
Step 1. Trace the contours of the eagle's head and body
For the head make a circle, for the neck a vertical quadrilateral and for the body use a large oval. As for the beak, you can use a quadrilateral attached to the head and, combined with this, an oblique triangle.
Step 2. Trace the outline of a branch under the oval
Step 3. Now make two smaller ovals on the branch
It will be the paws of the eagle. Make the tail by drawing a rectangle under the body.
Step 4. Draw the details of the garment, such as the eyes and feathers
Step 5. Trace the feathers on the eagle's body as well
Step 6. Add claws to paws
Step 7. Make the feathers on the tail
Step 8. Erase unnecessary lines and color as desired
Method 2 of 4: Eagle in Flight
Step 1. Draw the body of the eagle
Make a small circle for the head and, joined to it, an oval that will serve for the body. Between the two shapes, insert a pentagon. To make the beak, draw a small quadrilateral and an oblique triangle on the head.
Step 2. Draw two oblique shapes on the sides of the body to make the wings
Step 3. Add detailed shapes on the wings to make them more elaborate
Step 4. Draw three quadrilaterals, one larger than the other two. Add two circles for the legs
Step 5. Add details to the head, such as eyes and feathers
You can do the latter with zigzag lines.
Step 6. Add details to the wings
This time, use softer curved lines instead of zigzags for the feathers.
Step 7. Add more feathers on the wings
Step 8. Trace feathers on the body and tail as well
Step 9. Add claws to paws
Step 10. Erase unnecessary lines and color as desired
Method 3 of 4: Cartoon Eagle
Step 1. Draw an oval for the head
Step 2. Draw an inverted triangle with a small circle beside it for the beak
Step 3. Draw a large oval with the top wider than the bottom, for the body
Now, make the paws by drawing two small ovals below.
Step 4. Connect the head to the body with two curved lines
Step 5. Make a triangle for the right wing and a large trapezoid for the left one
Step 6. Draw a series of ovals for the legs
Make sharp lines at the ends of the ovals for the claws.
Step 7. Draw an irregular trapezoid under the body to make the tail
Step 8. Based on the guidelines, draw the tail, beak and eyes
Complete with pointed lines at the bottom.
Step 9. Still based on the guidelines, complete the body and legs, treading the contours where necessary and adding details
Step 10. Complete the wings and tail following the guidelines
Draw curved lines inside and at the ends of the wings to simulate feathers.
Step 11. Delete unnecessary lines

Step 4. Make the paws with two ovals and two circles
Step 5. Draw two lines starting from the body, as guides for the wings, and a trapezoid on the left side for the tail
Step 6. Complete the sketch of the wings by making curved lines that connect them to the body
Step 7. Complete the head, body and legs based on the sketch, tracing the contours where necessary and adding details
