Owl Looking Back Over Its Shoulder on a Leafy Branch

An owl sits on a thick tree branch with its body angled away while its round head turns back to look over its shoulder. The big eye, short hooked beak and circular face are drawn with fine curved lines. Layered wing feathers run down toward a long pointed tail, and the chest and back are covered in small scaly texture marks. On the right, a leafy twig hangs down with serrated, heart-shaped leaves. More leaves fill the lower left corner behind the owl's feet, and you can see its curved claws gripping the bark. Because the lines are so detailed, this free printable suits older kids and teens who like sharp colored pencils. Try soft browns, grays and creams for the feathers, then pick out the wing layers one at a time so each row stands apart. It could also open a chat about how owls turn their heads.
