If you’re into simple and fun animal sketches, this guide on how to draw a chick hatching from a cracked egg should fit the bill. It’s a beginner-level drawing that uses basic rounded shapes and light linework, and it takes 13 steps to finish. I’ll walk you through the setup and features so you can follow along with no stress.
KEY FEATURES OF THE CHICK AND EGG TO NOTICE WHILE DRAWING
- Fluffy round chick body sitting inside the cracked eggshell
- Large shiny eyes
- Open top half of the egg above the chick’s head
- Light expression and small beak centered between the eyes
- Crack lines on the egg with uneven edges
- A couple of broken eggshell pieces near the bottom for detail
After this, you might want to draw a rooster rockstar, a duck family, or even a baby bunny in a cute cartoon style.
HOW THE GUIDE WORKS: COLOR CODE SYSTEM
- Red Color: shows the lines to draw in the current step
- Black Color: shows the lines you’ve already completed in earlier steps
- Grey Color: shows the base sketch to guide proportions
The overall structure is round and straightforward, so you don’t need to worry much about complex anatomy here. You just need to keep the flow of the cracked shell and chick centered inside it.
