This is how to draw a Chicken Jockey from the Minecraft Movie — the baby zombie riding a chicken. You’ll probably recognize this from one of the movie’s most remembered scenes. It’s short, weirdly calm, and funny in a way only Minecraft can pull off. The drawing itself is pretty light, with soft features and rounded lines. I’d say it’s beginner-friendly, especially if you keep it cartoony like in the scene.
What to Notice When Sketching
- Round baby zombie face with wide cheeks and soft jawline
- Big black eyes tilted slightly down, giving a sleepy or sweet expression
- Short, rough black hair
- Small green hands holding onto the chicken from both sides
- The chicken has a boxy white body, square eyes, and flat beak
- The whole build leans toward a cuter version of the in-game mob
Other Minecraft mobs from the movie worth drawing after this include a Bee, a Ghast, or a Llama in armor to contrast the tiny Jockey. There’s also a full body guide for this Chicken Jockey.
How the Steps Are Marked in the Guide
To keep things simple, I followed the usual 3-color line format:
- Red Color: current lines for the step you’re on
- Black Color: lines that are already completed
- Grey Color: rough sketch layer to guide proportions
Each layer builds off the one before, so the zombie and chicken come together without needing to draw everything at once.
