How to Draw a Cartoon Chicken with MS Paint
Method 1 of 3:
Using the Brush Tool
- Draw a simple curved line.
- Draw wide curved line for the chicken's torso.
- MS Paint offers different brush tools. I used the watercolor tool to avoid making it look flat.
- You can use white or brown depending on what you want.
- Don't forget to set the shapes to Fill>'SOLID' and to set the secondary and primary colors properly.
- Add the tail and work your way to the body.
- Using simple strokes add the tail and just brush towards the center to build up the chicken's body, as well as the head.
- To do this, add an upside-down U for the head.
- With simple and short strokes, work your way from the U to the body.
- Fill the chicken's body using short strokes.
- Adjust the chicken's body as you see fit.
- Draw the comb and wattle.
- Use a red brush this time.
- Draw the beak and eyes.
- Use an orange brush color for the beak and black for the eyes.
- Add the wings.
- For the wings, draw short strokes using a gray brush first. Do this to add some depth into the wings.
- Then, add some white highlights.
Method 2 of 3:
Using the Shape Tool
- Draw a rectangle.
- This will be your chicken's body base.
- Add a big oval to the body.
- Using a darker color, draw a long horizontal oval for the head.
- This will be for the shading. If you're using white for the chicken's feather, use gray or light blue for the shadow.
- I used brown for the primary color and dark brown to the secondary color.
- Add the same oval only this time, use the original color.
- This will make it add more depth to the drawing.
- Using the dark color, heart shape draw the tail.
- Like the head, overlap the tail with the same shape but using the original color.
- Draw the wings.
- For the wings, make a heart shape similar to the tail. Use the shadow color for this step.
- Using the rotate tool, make rotate so that the pointed part of the heart points towards the head.
- Using the original feather color, add a smaller heart.
- Rotate it the same way you did for the previous step.
- Add another set of overlapping hearts to add more feathers to the wings.
- Start adding the comb and wattle.
- This time, use dark red.
- For the wattle, I used a single heart flipped horizontally.
- For the comb, I used 3 hearts. I added 2 short hearts side-by-side and a tall heart in the middle.
- Repeat previous step using red color.
- Adjust the size of the red wattles and comb so that some dark red streaks are visible
- Add eyes and beak.
- For the eyes, I drew some circles with the shape tool with my colors on Black and white.
- For the beak, I used the diamond shape on the shape tool. I used a darker shade of orange.
- Add the upper beak and legs.
- Using the triangle with the color set to yellow, I added the upper beak.
- I used the rectangle tool.
- Add the feet.
- Using the rectangle tool, I added two claws for the feet.
- Add more feathers.
- I used the thought bubble shape tool to add some feathers on the chicken's body.
- Flip it horizontally so that the circles are pointing upwards.
- Use the shadow color when doing this.
- Add the same figure.
- This time, using the original feather color.
Method 3 of 3:
General Method
- Open Microsoft paint.
- Click on the color yellow and make a filled-in circle. This will be your chicken's head.
- Make a larger oval below and to the right of the circle
- Using the brush tool, make a neck for your chicken. Refer to the picture to see what it should look like.
- Using the polygon tool, make a sideways kite shape for a beak.(Or you can use the line tool)
- For an eye, make a small black circle in the middle of the head.
- Click on the line tool and select the thickest line. Make two lines coming down from the body. Add feet by drawing three shorter lines fanning out from each leg.
- Draw a yellow tail with the brush tool, as shown in the picture. Fill it in with the paint bucket.
- Using the light orange color, draw a wing. You can also use the light orange color to outline your chicken.
