Description: Now that I have uploaded one of my favorite lessons from yesterday, I will be giving you guys another easy tutorial that is going to show you "how to draw an easy eagle", step by step. Now I know that the eagle is a majestic and bold bird. Its very presence has undergone a label as being a bird of honor, and loyalty. There are so many different types of symbolisms to this bird of promise. For example, it is said the eagle’s wings are supposed to represent protection, and the talons symbolize the gripping strength of bringing down evil or wrong doers. The nobility that the eagle presents as it soars through the clear blue sky is something that brings joy and awe inspiring sighs to anyone that watching such a magnificent bird fly like a free rebel as it lives a life of freedom. There is no man that can force an eagle down from the skies because there is no bullet that is fast enough, or can travel such a distance to bring down such a bird. A person that carries the urge to trophy himself an eagle is a man that has no honor at all. Eagles are birds of hope, strength, honor, and nobility. There is no other bird that flies the skies with such grace, which is why they will always be the one bird that looks like it flies straight into the heavens. When I see an eagle fly above my head, I always recognize that I am in the presence of a true rebel. I do hope you enjoy this tutorial that will show you with ease, "how to draw an easy eagle".
