✅ Explain what you draw in your own words.
What I drew is a portrait of a chicken. It has a red comb with a touch of black. The body of the chicken is white with a touch of black and yellow.

✅Share your drawing steps by step with us( Note this important point 👉🏽 write your username and date at any point on your drawing space before you start your drawing.)

Materials For The Painting

• Strongboard
• Cutter
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Acrylic Colour
• Brush
• Form
• A piece of a mattress

Step 1
I began my drawing by first constructing the drawing space. I cut my strong board to be 23cm by 30cm, and I cut another strong board to be 25cm by 32cm. I then glue the strongboard together and write my username and date.

Step 2
Here, I sketched or drew the outline of the chicken head. I began with the beak followed by the comb. I then drew the neck and concluded with the wattle.

Step 3
I drew the eyes of the chicken. I also drew the ear and the ear lobes.

Step 4
At this point, I began my painting. I mixed a yellow, blue and white acrylic to obtain a light green. I then used the piece of mattress and a brush to paint the background of the drawing.

Step 5
I used a red acrylic colour to paint the comb and wattle of the chicken. I used a brush and a piece of a mattress to make the painting.

Step 6
I painted the beak of the chicken using yellow and white acrylic colours. I also painted the eye using yellow, white, and black acrylic colours. Lastly at this step, I give a touch of black on the comb and part of the beak.

Step 7
I painted the neck of the chicken using a white acrylic colour and a brush. I also give the neck a touch of black and yellow. Finally, I painted the hair above the eyes using white acrylic colour.

Step 8
I painted the ear lobe using red and white acrylic colour. I mixed a red and black acrylic colour to give a final touch on the wattle. Finally, I give a touch of red on the eye.

✅ How long did it take to complete your drawing, and how do you feel about it?

This painting took me about 6 hours to finish. It took me this long because at each step, I allowed it to dry before moving to the next step. I want to let you know that I felt very happy after this work was completed

✅ Give us a beautiful selfie with your creation and where you got the inspiration from.

I saw this picture on the internet (pixabay). It looks beautiful and I decided to paint it using acrylic colour.
