Before you learn how to draw A Cartoon Bald Eagle, did you know?

Doesn’t this eagle look like a perfect predator? In a way, it is. There aren’t that many creatures in the world that can match the bald eagle’s speed, precision, agility, and strength. This is a bird of prey and its “home” is North America. Mostly, you can find this fascinating beast in Canada and Alaska.

Go to large bodies of open water where the bald eagle is stalking its prey. You must’ve seen at least a couple of fascinating videos where this predator swoops down into the water, grabs its prey, and then flies away to enjoy its meal. Interesting fact: they aren’t bald, per se – it’s just that in the past, “bald” used to meant “white-headed”, so, there you have it.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
