How to draw a Hen – lesson 1

This hen does exactly what hens are constantly doing – searching for food on the ground.

In this position, the torso of the chicken looks completely triangular.

Four-fingered legs stand steadily.

The head is small. But it is visually enlarged with its beak.

In addition, there is a comb and other skin growths on the head.

Let’s color the resulting outline of a hen.

Step-by-step Hen drawing lesson 2

Typically the hen legs are straight and slender to the knee. Higher we see hen thighs – they are really muscular. Hens have four fingers on their feet. Three toes are directed forward as a fan, and the fourth – backwards.

Chickens have little brains and their heads are small. In profile we see only one chicken eye – right in the middle of the head. Chicken tail looks like a broom. Well, here is our Hen drawing.
