if you aren't welcomed home by the discordant screams of a pom-pom headed chicken named Muffin, then what kind of life are you living???

This is a useful little sequence of exercises for learning the shapes of an animal (e.g., a chook) and then loosening your sketches — it’s fun on its own, but I also do this when about to illustrate an animal I don’t draw a lot. 

Take your [chook] and break it into the basic shapes from which it is constructed. Try very simple (e.g. the two-eggs approach at the top of the page) and more nuanced. Try considering just types of line-segments that outline it (straight lines? s-curves?)

Take a few examples of [chooks] and work out what the basic overall shape of each is — in this case, a sort of fox/shield. Is there a shape all the [chooks] you’ve looked at have in common? What are the fewest number of sides that recognisably contain a [chook]? If your subject has lines (e.g. legs) and you extend them, do they always pass through the same place? (And if you can, find a video and sketch them in motion, to see the line they follow when they move.)

Choose any basic shape (e.g. circle, square, triangle) and use it to design a [chook]. Fit a [chook] into it entirely. Then use it as the general base for a [chook].

Draw a sequence of irregular, scribbly shapes. Turn each into a [chook]. Lean into the recognisable bits, the bits where the shape suggests a [chook]. Then lean the other way, and force the shape to be a [chook] against its instincts.

Make some ink/paint/coffee blots. What are the minimum details you can add to turn each into a [chook]?

(There are a few links to related and writing versions of this exercise at Observation journal exercise: simplifying sketches, mixing them up again)

For today's Zooly "Chickens" prompt, I chose to draw a barred Plymouth rock because, well, they're FUN to draw! Can you find all the chicks? The Plymouth rock is one of my favorite breeds that I have in my flock. They're great egg-layers, laying around 200 brown eggs a year, but as a dual-purpose bred I also raise a few each year for meat. 100 years ago this was the most popular breed of chicken in the United States. While the exact origin of this breed is a bit contentious, genetic analysis shows the main ancestor of the Plymouth rock is the similarly barred Dominique. Ink pen with Copic markers.

The chicks are not quite a week old, and they have already figured out the best way to enjoy watermelon rinds.

Egg

   For anyone who is interested, particularly @woodelf68, here is a farm egg to store egg comparison.

Shell color, whether brown, white, (or blue!) is due to what breed of chicken you have, and does not depend on the chicken’s health or well-being. People often feel like brown eggs are ‘healthier’ in some way, but if I had a Leghorn who laid white eggs, they’d be just as good on the inside as the brown egg from my Brahma hen. In the picture, the store egg is on the right and mine is on the left.

Here’s where you start to see the difference; the farm egg has an orange yolk and the store egg’s is yellow. The white is also a little firmer in a farm egg. My hens get regular chicken feed, which is soybean based, but also corn, table scraps, and any greens or bugs they can hunt up for themselves.

Not a huge taste difference, really, but you can tell which is which.
