How to Draw a Rooster

This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to draw a rooster using techniques that are simple enough even for beginner artists.

These tutorials are also very simple. Roosters often appear on clothing and in fairy tales and cartoons. Let’s begin and learn how to draw a rooster for kids!

How to draw a rooster step by step

Step 1: Sketch the rooster’s body

Begin with a rounded shape. It is difficult to compare this form with another object, but it resembles an upside-down chicken leg.

Step 2: Add the comb and beak

Draw the comb at the top of the rooster’s body. Inside the shape, add the large eye and open beak. The beak has an angular form, and its lower half shows the inner section.

Step 3: Draw the rooster’s neck details

Draw a small semicircular shape below the eye. Use a jagged line to outline the feathers along the rooster’s neck, then add the wattles below the beak.

Step 4: Outline the folded wing

Draw the rooster’s folded wing. Begin with an oval shape, then add the feathers along its edge. The wing should be rounded on one side and serrated on the other.

Step 5: Sketch the curved tail

Draw the rooster’s large tail with several long, curved lines. You can use a similar approach when drawing a dove.

Step 6: Add the rooster’s legs

Draw the rooster’s legs. Each leg narrows gradually before changing into thin, straight lines near the feet.

Step 7: Refine the farm bird’s outlines

Erase the unnecessary guidelines and darken the rooster’s eye to complete the drawing.
