| How To Draw The Philadelphia Eagles Symbol |
Step 1: Gather Your Weapons (Art Supplies, Not Actual Weapons... Mostly)
- A trusty pencil (or pen, if you're feeling adventurous) - for the faint of heart, an eraser is also a good idea.
- Paper - anything from a napkin (during a particularly exciting game) to a sketchbook will work.
- Optional: Colored pencils, markers, or crayons - unleash your inner Picasso and bring those Eagles colors to life!
Step 2: Embrace the Power of Circles (and Ovals, Don't Be a Shape Bigot)
- Start with a light circle - this will be the base of the eagle's head.
- Feeling fancy? Elongate that circle slightly into an oval for a more streamlined look.
Pro Tip: Don't fret about perfect circles. A wonky circle just adds character (and maybe makes the eagle look a little more aggressive... which is a good thing, right?).
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Step 3: Channel Your Inner Curve Master (Don't Worry, It's Easier Than It Sounds)
- Draw a curved line coming down from the bottom of your circle/oval. This will be the beginning of the eagle's body.
- Now, get creative! Add another curved line mirroring the first one on the other side. Imagine you're drawing a pair of parentheses around the eagle's head.
Remember: Curves are your friends! Embrace the squiggle.
Step 4: Beak It Down (Gettin' Fancy with That Beak)
- From the bottom point of your "parentheses," draw two diagonal lines meeting in a sharp point. Congratulations, you just made a beak!
- Want to add some detail? Draw a small curved line inside the beak for a touch of realism (or maybe the eagle just swallowed a particularly plump mouse).
Step 5: Feather Frenzy (Let Your Imagination Soar)
- Above the eagle's head, draw a few jagged lines for feathers. Think of it like drawing sawtooth blades, but way cooler.
- Feeling ambitious? Add some more feathers around the back of the eagle's head for a full and majestic mane.
Step 6: Eye of the Eagle (Spooky, But Necessary)
- Just above the beak, draw a small circle for the eye.
- Want to make your eagle look extra fierce? Add a dark shading in the center of the eye for that classic "predator stare."
Warning: Don't accidentally poke your paper trying to make a super tiny pupil. Safety first!
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Step 7: Celebrate Your Masterpiece (Eagles Win or Lose, You're a Winner, Baby!)
There you have it! You've just conquered the art of drawing the Philadelphia Eagles symbol. Take a moment to admire your work (and maybe high-five yourself). Now go forth and spread the Eagles spirit, one hand-drawn masterpiece at a time.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling extra proud, take a picture of your creation and share it on social media with the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
