At the very beginning, we promised you that our lesson “how to draw a chicken” would be educational, so let’s now learn some interesting facts about chickens.

Unhatched chicks are reliably protected by their shells - a wonderful invention of nature. The shell is very strong to protect the chick and support the weight of the chicken, but at the same time fragile so that the chick can break through it and hatch. The shell has more than 7,000 pores that allow air to pass through.
Cockerels hatch from heavier eggs than hens.
From birth, chickens can get used to the presence of a person and consider him their friend, following on his heels.

Today our lesson is simple and exciting. You and I will find out. We have already drawn several birds before:

You can try to draw them later. Now let’s try to depict this beautiful creature:

How to draw a chicken with a pencil

Step one. Draw a circle in the upper left corner. This is the future head. Place a large oval in the center of the sheet. So that it touches the chicken's head. Let's outline the bird's beak with an auxiliary line. Let's draw the center lines of the legs. Here we have the main details. Go ahead. Step two. Now let's draw the beak. In a chicken it is very small and similar to, only much smaller. The line that we have already outlined should be at the bottom of the triangle. From the beak upward we draw the line of the forehead. Then we go down the circumference of the head. And on the back of the head we will show a tiny crest. Now let’s draw a zigzag line along the entire body of the chicken to give the bird some fluffiness. () In this case, individual hairs can be shown. Let's outline the paw: it is quite massive, with claws. Step three. On the head, as you remember, we drew an auxiliary line. We now need to draw an eye on its tip. Large, almond-shaped. We immediately paint over it, leaving a small light dot - a reflection of the light. Next we outline the entire body of the chicken: chin, neck, wing shape, leg. In a zigzag line to create a “fluff”. Almost like . We will draw additional lines on the chest, forehead and cheek. Let's draw the second paw with claws. Step four. Almost everything is ready. All that remains is to erase all unnecessary lines. Let's outline the contour brighter, and leave the lines along the body, the same ones on the chest, forehead and cheek, light. You can add a couple more of the same throughout the body. The chicken is ready, congratulations! It seems that you want to stroke it... Or paint it. If you want a more challenging class, I suggest it.

Complexity:(3 out of 5).

Age: from three years old.

Materials: wax crayons, watercolor, thick brush, sheet of thick paper.

Progress: the child draws two circles, a large one (torso) and a small one (head). Afterwards you need to paint them over with wax crayons. Then draw the eye, beak, crest and legs.

Take a yellow wax crayon and draw two circles, a large one and a small one. If the child is afraid, then take a simple pencil and do the same. Next, draw a tail (in the form of a triangle).

Now we paint over the body and head with yellow chalk. Draw the tail (in the form of a triangle). And then draw an eye with black chalk. And red is the nose, crest and paws.

Now all we have to do is decorate the beak and crest with crayons. Draw grass (whatever you want, whatever you get).

And the most interesting thing. We move on to the final step once the weed chicken is ready. We take a palette and dilute watercolors in it with a lot of water. Take a large brush and begin to move the brush horizontally from top to bottom. Make sure there is enough water and paint on the brush. Then you can, don't be afraid for the chicken. Water will roll off it to the edges, and if droplets remain in the drawing, they can be removed with a regular napkin.

In the new tutorial I will show you how to draw a chicken in two different ways. Both of them will appeal to both children and adults. So let's get started!

Option #1

This instruction explains how to draw a chicken step by step with a simple pencil, felt-tip pens or paints.

1. Draw two circles

To begin, build two circles of different sizes, one above the other. This will be the torso and head of our baby. Divide the upper circle with a curve - the eyes will be located on this line.

2. Basic contours

Now let's create a drawing of a chicken in pencil. To do this, use simple short lines to draw the outlines of the head, body, wings and legs. Don't forget about the eyes and beak.

3. Working out the details

Paint over the eyes, add small details, remove construction lines. Now you know how to draw a chicken step by step according to my instructions for children and adults. Let's move on to color?

4. Coloring

In drawings for children, the chicken is always yellow. The beak and paws can be made orange, but the color of the eyes is at the discretion of the artist. I chose blue.

5. Background

It's time to work on the background of the picture. I drew the sky and green grass, but you can go with something else.

Option No. 2

Now let's see how to draw a hatched chicken in an egg or shell. The second lesson will be easier. It is suitable even for small children.

1. Draw contours

Draw an oval and two legs - these will be the outer contours of our chicken.

2. Details

Draw the wing, two eyes, crest and beak of the chick.

On a note: Do not try to completely copy the pictures of chickens drawn here. Let your work be individual!

3. Eggshells

Add half of the broken shell behind the bird. It looks like our chicken just hatched from an egg!

4.Color the picture

Color the image to your liking. I will make my work soft, in pastel colors. The chick will be pale yellow, the eggshell will be pinkish. The abstract background is reminiscent of blue skies and lush summer grass.

Now you know how to draw a chicken for a child in 5 minutes!

In this lesson we will learn how to draw a chicken for Easter, so that we can decorate a greeting card with it. This little chick just recently hatched. Therefore, we will draw it in an egg shell.

We use only bright colors to get a rich and sunny picture.

Necessary materials:

pencil for sketching;
eraser and sheet of paper;
colour pencils;
black liner for outlining.

Steps to Draw the Easter Chick:

Draw a circle that will become the lower part of the chicken's body.

Draw an arc to the top of the circle. Now the first figure has turned into an oval.

We remove the arc in the middle of the oval. Draw the egg shell at the bottom. To do this, let's slightly increase the size of the oval and add a wavy outline that will not have sharp corners.

Then on the sides of the body we draw small wings that have smooth contour lines. On the top of the chicken's head we draw curves in the form of semi-ovals, which create a cute bang.

Next, draw large oval eyes in the center. Above them we will add the silhouette of the eyebrows, and in the lower part we will draw a beak.

We begin to color the finished contour drawing of the Easter chicken with colored pencils and first of all take a yellow tint. We use it to paint the entire body of the chick. Let's leave only the eyes, eyebrows and beak untouched.

For the color of the beak and the volume of the body we use an orange pencil. With light pressure we create a gentle tone on the paper.

We also use brown pencils of different saturations and shades. We use them to paint the body of the chicken and create volume on the white shell of the egg.

We take a black pencil, which we will use to work on the areas of the eyebrows and eyes. We also use it to darken some details of the body and muzzle and create a shadow on the shell. Next, we use a black liner with a very thin rod. We use it to create a complete outline of the finished drawing and, if desired, we can work out the shadow areas with shading.

So we get a finished drawing of an Easter chicken that recently hatched from an egg. But with such a bright illustration you can decorate a holiday card!
