Instructions

We will start off with simple basic shapes and then add details to the shapes for the finishing touch.

First draw an oval shape for the body of the eagle.
Next add the tail. For this, first draw two straight lines from the end portion of the body and then join the two lines by a rough curve. The lines should be slanting a bit away from one another.
Draw the head and neck portion of the bird. For this, you can use a half oval shape. Make sure the broader portion of the oval forms the neck and the narrower makes the head of the eagle. Add a beak to the head by drawing a shape resembling ‘<’. The beak should be pointed at the edge so as to have a hook-like effect.
Add wings to the body by making two boxy flaps. You can initially make rectangles for the wings. Later, add desired curves and fringes as and where required. Make these wings balanced with the body so as to add realism and perspective to your sketch
Now add two lines (a bit curved) descending from the bottom of the body. This will become the eagle’s legs. At the edge of these lines draw the claws of the bird’s foot.
Add the evil glaring eyes. Shape them up for finer look. The basic structure of the bird is ready. Now add extra details to make it more realistic.
Give finishing touches to the sketch like add feathers and sharpness to the talons. All these details will make your drawing finer.
