Description: Squawk! This is the eagle chick speaking. Today we will be learning "how to draw a eagle", step by step. This eagle that you will be drawing is the famous Bald Eagle. Everyone knows eagles can grow up five feet tall and with a wingspan of forty feet long. That’s a huge predator! A Bald Eagle can easily catch a baby deer and fly away with it. What power eh?!

The water effect was done in Photoshop as well, using the ripple effect. This image took me an hour to finish. I am getting as many tutorials up as possible for your needs. So enjoy this Bald Eagle and I hope it exceeds your drawing needs.
