    How do I color the chicken properly?
    Community Answer
    Stick with brown, black, and white. The feet of a chicken are usually in the orange-yellow category, but I've seen grey legs before. A lot of chickens seem to have little spots or patterns. If you need help choosing a color scheme, look up images of chickens. Of course, you're free to choose whatever colors you like.

    The more you practice, the better you will be able to create something you are proud of. You can also look closely at photos and videos of real chickens, and diagrams of chicken anatomy to understand better what chickens really look like. To achieve straighter and more confident lines, you can do hand steadiness exercises.

  • Question
    Is there a simpler way to draw a chicken?
    Community Answer
    Draw a small circle for the head, then draw a big one under it. Connect them, draw a beak on the small circle, and then add the legs underneath the body.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To draw a cartoon chicken, start by drawing a small circle. Within that circle, draw a smaller oval that for the eye of the chicken. Next, draw 2 triangles joined together to make the beak. If you want to draw a rooster, draw different sized circles on top of the head to make the comb. Then, add a circle for the body and straight lines to make the neck and feet. Once you have your shape, add in feathers and detail until you are happy with your work. Finally, go back and erase the lines and shapes you used for the outline.
