Today, we will be learning to draw a rooster. This is a beautiful bird with many feathers, a wattle, and a comb. Those who saw roosters live will likely remember the loud and rather loud and annoying crow they like to make at sunrise. Also, you will remember how they like to look bossy and swagger around chickens. So, today, in our drawing tutorial, we will draw that bossy but beautiful look of a rooster.


Step 1. Outline the main parts of the rooster body.

Start by drawing a few lines with the primary goal of outlining the dimensions of our future rooster drawing: a line for its chest, a line for the back of the neck, a line for the upper part of the tail, and a circle for the head.

Now, we need to draw the feather pattern on some of the rooster's feathers in its tail. Looks a bit like leaves. Then, draw the folds on the rooster's shanks and toes. As you can see, going over our drawing and adding dark highlighting to the lines gives the drawing a bit of volume, separating the parts its parts. We also add shading to the bottom of the rooster.
