If you are referring to the body texture, it would be a complicated task without some type of pattern generator. It could be vector drawn but would be very time consuming. From the image you have provided it looks as if someone has the knack for using a Dremel tool along on a surface material such as cedar fence board which already has some textured appearance.

I have been on this forum since 2016 and have rarely seen anyone requiring textured surfaces. You could do a search here on the forum.

A Simple EASY way. Nah, I know nothing about that! BUT - I do believe where there is a will, there is a WAY.

I only spent a couple of minutes to test it - but you CAN use the distort tool and distort textures. With that you can choose a texture that is close to what you are looking for. I do not think just one shot at it will work. In my mind I can see many slices of textures all shaped to the owl.

Not simple - not easy - but it is a possibility.
