Round-Eyed Owl With Scalloped Feather Rings for Adult Coloring

A single owl faces forward with two big round eyes ringed by layers of scalloped feathers, and a sharp curved beak sits between them. Leaf-shaped feathers fan out above the eyes like tufts, and the chest and belly are built from rows of overlapping, lace-like feather shapes. One wing hangs down the side with a long fringe of leafy feathers, and the bird stands on clawed feet with pointed talons at the bottom. Pen-style hatching, stippling and tiny dots fill almost every part of the drawing, so there are plenty of small spaces to work in. Try coloring each row of belly feathers in a slightly different shade, moving from light to dark as you go down, and keep the eyes bold to make them stand out. Fine-tip markers and sharpened colored pencils will help with the tighter patterns. It is a good fit for older kids, teens and adults who like a long, quiet project.
