Wide-Eyed Owl Gripping a Rough Branch

A wide-eyed owl perches on a rough wooden branch, its talons gripping the wood. Large round eyes with shiny highlights sit inside layered, petal-shaped rings, and a small heart-shaped beak sits between them. Feathery tufts sweep up from the brows. The chest and head are packed with scalloped rows, curls, and little teardrop shapes. The folded wing on the right has fan-like scallops, zigzag bands, and a checkerboard section with solid black diamonds near the tip. Fine pencils or gel pens work well for the small spaces. Try shading each scalloped row in a gradual color shift, from warm browns at the top to soft blues at the bottom, so the feather layers stand out. This printable page suits teens and adults who like a slow, relaxing project.
