Methods of forming earth-boring rotary drill bits include providing a bit body, providing a shank that is configured for attachment to a drill string, and attaching the shank to the bit body. Providing a bit body includes providing a green powder component having a first region having a first composition and a second region having a second, different composition, and at least partially sintering the green powder component. Other methods include providing a powder mixture, pressing the powder mixture to form a green component, and sintering the green component to a final density. A shank is provided that includes an aperture, and a feature is machined in a surface of the bit body. The aperture is aligned with the feature, and a retaining member is inserted through the aperture. An earth-boring bit includes a bit body comprising a particle-matrix composite material including a plurality of hard particles dispersed throughout a matrix material. A shank is attached to the bit body using a retaining member.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a fixed cutter earth-boring rotary drill bit, the method comprising: providing a bit body comprising: pressing a first powder mixture to provide a first component having a first material composition; pressing a second powder mixture to provide a second component having a second material composition that differs from the first material composition; assembling the first component with the second component; and sintering the first component and the second component to a final density to bond the first component and the second component together and form the bit body; and fixedly attaching a shank to the bit body such that no relative movement is provided between the shank and the bit body during drilling, the shank configured for attachment to a drill string, fixedly attaching the shank to the bit body comprising: positioning at least a portion of an inner surface of the shank circumferentially about a portion of the bit body; inserting a retaining member through a first aperture extending through an outer surface of the shank and through at least one feature of the bit body; and at least partially securing the shank to the bit body using the retaining member. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: formulating the first powder mixture to comprise: a plurality of particles comprising a matrix material, the matrix material selected from the group consisting of cobalt-based alloys, iron-based alloys, nickel-based alloys, cobalt and nickel-based alloys, iron and nickel-based alloys, iron and cobalt-based alloys, aluminum-based alloys, copper-based alloys, magnesium-based alloys, and titanium-based alloys; and a plurality of hard particles comprising a material selected from diamond, boron carbide, boron nitride, aluminum nitride, and carbides or borides of the group consisting of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Zr, and Cr. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein pressing the first powder mixture comprises: pressing the first powder mixture in a die or receptacle. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein pressing the first powder mixture in the die or receptacle comprises isostatically pressing the first powder mixture. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: formulating the first powder mixture to have a first powder composition; and forming a first green powder component upon pressing the first powder mixture; formulating the second powder mixture to have a second powder composition differing from the first powder composition; and forming a second green powder component upon pressing the second powder mixture. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first material composition comprises: a plurality of particles comprising a matrix material, the matrix material selected from the group consisting of nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, and nickel and cobalt-based alloys, the plurality of particles comprising a matrix material comprising between about 5% and about 25% by weight of the first composition; and a plurality of −400 ASTM mesh tungsten carbide particles, the plurality of tungsten carbide particles comprising between about 75% and about 95% by weight of the first material composition. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the second material composition comprises: a plurality of particles comprising a matrix material, the matrix material selected from the group consisting of nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, and nickel and cobalt-based alloys, the plurality of particles comprising a matrix material comprising between about 30% and about 35% by weight of the second composition; and a plurality of −400 ASTM mesh tungsten carbide particles, the plurality of tungsten carbide particles comprising between about 65% and about 70% by weight of the second material composition. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the second material composition comprises a plurality of particles comprising a material selected from the group consisting of nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, and nickel and cobalt-based alloys. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising machining the at least one feature in a surface of the bit body. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the action of machining the at least one feature in the surface of the bit body comprises at least one of turning, milling, and drilling the at least one feature in the surface of the bit body. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the action of machining the at least one feature in the surface of the bit body comprises machining at least one groove in the surface of the bit body. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the action of fixedly attaching the shank to the bit body further comprises: selecting the retaining member to comprise an elongated rod; aligning the first aperture extending through the outer surface of the shank and a second aperture extending through the outer surface of the shank with the at least one feature of the bit body; and inserting the elongated rod through the first aperture extending through the outer surface of the shank, through the at least one feature of the bit body, and through the second aperture extending through the outer surface of the shank. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the action of inserting the retaining member comprises providing a substantially uniform gap between at least one surface of the shank and at least one surface of the bit body. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the action of providing a substantially uniform gap comprises forming the substantially uniform gap to be between about 50 microns (0.002 inch) and about 150 microns (0.006 inch). 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a brazing alloy between at least one surface of the shank and at least one surface of the bit body. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising welding an interface between the shank and the bit body. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein assembling the first component with the second component comprises assembling the first component with the second component after pressing the first powder mixture and pressing the second powder mixture.
