Drawing an eagle

For drawing this eagle an A-4 paper, a pencil and eraser.

_{Items used}

• Having this Items ready, I started drawing the eagle begining from the head.
  

• Next, I continued drawing down to the legs but without filling in the major details.
  

• Next was the details I avoided earlier. I filled them in now beginning from the head again.
  

• At this point I was partially done. To make it a little real, I did some shading and also gave the eagle a proper tree to stand on.
  
  And that's the end.

How did you get the idea?

The thought of drawing an eagle came to mind after coming across the Nigeria coat of arms which consists of a black shield with a wavy white pall, two supporting horses, a green and white twists of the torse on the top of the shield, and of course, an eagle.

An eagle is most times associated with majesty, truth, wisdom, power, royalty, authority, and most importantly, freedom. As they roam the sky, they are believed by most people to have a special connection to God

How useful is what you have made?
Drawing this eagle gave me more knowledge about an eagle. A knowledge I shared with my siblings and hope to share with others.

Which kid did you inspire or do you intend to inspire and help develop the creativity?
My younger brother. He loves drawing or watching people draw, so while drawing I asked him to come around and see and he promised to try it out himself.
