How to Draw an Owl with Watercolors

by YIN LONG on Jun 10 2022
Owl is one of the nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, possesses large, forward-facing eyes and ear-holes, a hawk-like beak, a flat face, and usually a conspicuous circle of feathers around each eye. I also think they are one of the most interesting animals on the planet, which is why I like to draw them. In this article, I’ll show you how to draw a sloth step-by-step. List of Supplies: 120 Colors Professional Watercolor Pencils Set 100 Colors Solid Watercolor Paint Set With 40 Metallic Colors 7 Pcs Premium Wool Hair Paint Brush Set 11 Pcs Miniature Detail Paint Brush Set With Natural Wood Handle Step 1. Sketch the outline of the owl with blue colored pencilFirstly, create a rough sketch and face of the owl by impression with blue colored pencils. You can change to any other pale-colored pencils. Next, add the shape of a short branch under it. Our owl will be placed on a branch. Forget any details and setting down the position of each part of the owl is enough in this step. Finish the sketch by adding talons.   Step 2. Set the basic tone and avoid face & highlights of the owl Dilute red and orange with water and apply a thin wash over the entire drawing, don’t forget to color the tail of the owl. Carefully leave white on the branch and the highlights on the owl's face and wings. Our artist used 100 Colors Solid Watercolor Paint Set, which includes an appreciated brush, and the paints are specially formulated to offer a high concentration of pigments while remaining easily re-settable and bendable. Step 3. Light the side of the owl's face and branches with blue paintsLet's assume that the owl stands on an icy branch in the winter. Once dry, dilute pale blue paint with water to the areas of the body that would be in shadow—from the side face to the midsection and the branch. It doesn't matter if some of the background colors were overlapped, they will be covered by the next painting.   Step 4.  Add the coat feathers to the owlThis step is relatively easier as it is coloring for the biggest area of the owl. Our artist used a mid-size wool hair brush to paint the owl head to the body with brown watercolor paint. It should be reminded that brown paint needs to avoid the space of the owl’s face, back, talons, and the highlights on the wings. Besides, there is no need to wait for the paint to dry completely during this step and needs more water to mix the deep red color on the underbelly of the owl. Step 5. Optimize the details and shadesIn this stage, enhancing the contrast of the whole painting is the primary goal. We can use a dark brown with a slightly purple tinge to paint some of the branches, as well as the owl's tail and dark feathers. Further, add black color with less water and by miniature paintbrush to the darkest shadow of the owl, there are distributed the underneath owl’s ears, the hair around the lower half of the face, and underneath the wings. Finally, you can use the tip of the brush add to add some tiny marks with black paint to outline the owl’s facial features and talons. You’ve done it! You’ve just drawn and painted an owl standing on a branch in winter, that’s simply wonderful!   I hope you’ve enjoyed learning how to draw an owl. These cute nocturnal animals are so charming and make great subjects to sketch, draw, and paint. Let us know in the comments section of this article how your drawing came out!

If you live somewhere where you’re unable to visit one, there’s no need to worry since we’re bringing the cute watercolor fox to you! Create your own vibrant drawings of foxes by following the 4 easy steps provided. List of Supplies: 12 Pcs Basic Black & White Assorted Oil-Based Colored Pencils  50 Colors Solid Watercolor Paint Set With Gift Box 9 Pcs Round Watercolor Paint Brush Set 11 Pcs Miniature Detail Paint Brush Set With Natural Wood Handle Step 1: Sketch the outline of the fox with pencil A dynamic sketch is key to making a good watercolor painting for beginners. Our artist has used basic black pencil to set a rough outline of the fox. Getting its major shapes is what we need to do first. Draw some circles and 2 triangles on the paper as a sleepy fox usually tends to be shaped like a sort of sphere with a squashed bottom, and triangles are closer to fox ears. Partitioning paintings in advance can facilitate the later division of color levels. Step 2: Optimize the shape of the fox and blend appropriate colors This step can focus more on the inner outline of the fox to make the sketch closer to a fox rather than some geometries. After you have the main shape of the fox you can add in the smaller details such as the divisions and curves. The outline of a fox would come alive in sight. Then choose a few colors of the fox in your heart from the watercolor paint set, and blend darker and lighter colors to prepare for the later painting. Step 3: Lay out the paints mixing water in the sketch of the fox It is time to add color! A good sketch of the fox will lay a good foundation for coloring. The core of this step is to make the fox alive in colors. Round watercolor brush is used in this step and helps to fill in the watercolors. Firstly, you need to fill more than a half fox body with yellow and red paint on wet, the fox's eyes are mainly dark red. It should be noted that we only paint these two pieces here, and then wait for them to dry. Step 4: Add the shadow and details to the foxThe focus of this step is on how can add different details well to make the lovely image of the fox come alive. Detail paint brush would be the 1st to offer a fine tip paintbrush set to ensure your precision in painting, and ease of usage, take care of every whisker of the fox. You need to use dark red color to add shadows around the ears and head and mix this shade with black paint to create smoother gradients. Next, add bright white paints to the fox’s whiskers and ears. A lifelike fox is finally in front of you. Thank you for creating a lovely watercolor fox with us today, we hope you found this cute fox drawing article insightful, entertaining, educational, and encouraging.
