A Minecraft Movie Drawing: Sketching the Chicken Jockey

This version of Chicken Jockey from the Minecraft Movie shows the full body — zombie and chicken mount together. It’s from almost the same scene in the film as the first one, where the character appears in full stance with that grumpy expression and clenched teeth. I’d call the complexity medium, mostly because of the layered layout between rider and mount.

Main Details to Focus On

• Grumpy-faced baby zombie with wrinkled forehead and clenched teeth
• Short black hair cut with uneven spikes and forehead exposure
• Green hands gripping the chicken tightly from both sides
• Wearing a short-sleeved teal shirt, upper body leaning slightly forward
• Block-style chicken with an angular white body and layered orange beak
• Chicken’s eyes are square with dark orange irises and flat brow area
• Yellow chicken legs

If you’re doing more Minecraft Movie drawings, this one goes well alongside a Ghast, Llama, or even a Bee if you want to keep the theme of mobs.

Guide Step Colors – What Each One Means

The drawing uses the usual 3-step color-coded system for each part:

• Red Color: the active step to draw at the moment
• Black Color: all lines already completed from previous steps

This helps separate each phase and makes it easier to handle areas like the chicken legs or zombie fingers without confusion.

If your A Minecraft Movie Drawing doesn’t look exactly like the guide’s final image, that’s completely fine, seriously. The whole point of working through how to draw A Minecraft Movie Drawing is the practice itself, not producing a pixel-perfect copy on the first try.
