Draw Chicks : How to Draw Cartoon Baby Chicks in Easy Steps

Step 1

First draw a circle for the chick’s face…draw a line around the center of the face (as if you were wrapping the line around a ball). This is a guideline to help you place the facial features of the baby duck / chicken.

Step 2

Now use the guideline to help you place the baby’s chick’s beak. Draw a line outwards, slightly curved upwards, and then bring it down in a curve.

Step 3

Draw an oval in the beak for the nostril. Draw a sideways letter ‘v’ for the eye as well.

Step 4

Now draw an oval for the chick’s body. Draw another oval towards the back of the first oval…this will be the wing. Also finish up the eye with a curved line…fill it in except for a small oval for the eye’s highlight.

Step 5

Now lets concentrate on the wing. Inside the oval…draw a sideways letter ‘v’ like shape that is more curved. Draw lines within it for feathers.

Also draw stick figure legs….2 rectangles and 2 ovals.

Step 6

Draw a sideways letter ‘v’ that is a bit curvier than a ‘v’ for the chick’s tail. Also within the rectangle feet, draw the webbing of the feet. Notice that the ends of each feet look li ke backwards number ‘3’.

Step 7

Now erase guidelines and lines that you don’t need anymore and darken lines that are important. You can also draw little lines all over the duck for feathers. I hope that your baby chick turned out as good or better than mine. Have fun.
