• Question

  Do I curve the eagle's wings or bend them? If I do, do the wings go up or down?

  

  It really depends on the stage of flight - most birds' wings bend down, but some birds bend slightly upward before flapping down. I suggest watching a video of a flying eagle and slowing down the speed.

About This Article

Article Summary X

To draw an eagle, start by outlining an oval for the body and a circle slightly above it and to the right for the head. Next, connect the oval and circle with curved lines to create the eagle's neck and add a rectangle to the side of the circle for a beak. Then, sketch in legs using ovals and add two semi-circles coming off the body for wings. Once you've finished the outline, fill in details like the feathers, tail, and facial features. Finally, erase the guidelines and color in your eagle. To learn how to draw an eagle sitting on a branch, read on!
