It is quite a difficult job to draw a neat picture of an animal or bird. An owl can be one of the most difficult birds to draw, especially with the varying appearances between different species like the barn owl, horned owl and snowy owl. Here is a simple step-by-step drawing of a cute cartoon owl for kids. Just follow the steps and you will be able to draw a nice owl whenever you need to.
Step 1
