How to Draw a Chick Egg
Draw a chick egg in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big egg head.
Step 1: Big egg head
Near the top of your paper draw a big egg, fat side down. It is most of the chick.
Step 2: Three fluffy tufts
On top of the head draw 3 soft round tufts: a tall middle one and a shorter one each side.
Tip Round tops, not points: they are fluff.
Step 3: Two big eyes
A bit below the middle of the head draw 2 big eggy eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Open beak and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a fat triangle pointing down. Add a smile bump under it and 2 cheeks.
Tip The gap between the beak parts is the chick chirping.
Step 5: Round tummy
Start under each cheek. Curve each side out and down, and stop just below the fattest part.
Tip The tummy is narrower than the head.
Step 6: Two tucked wings
On each side, start on the tummy line under the head. Draw a plump leaf wing back to the start.
Step 7: Little fan tail
On the right of the tummy draw 2 fat teardrop feathers like a fan. Start and stop on the tummy.
Step 8: The broken egg
Start left of the tummy. Zigzag across under the wings, then draw a big U under, back to the start.
Step 9: Ground line
Draw a straight ground line under the egg, sticking out a little past each side.
Step 10: Yellow chick
Colour the head, tufts, tummy, wings and tail yellow, around the eyes, cheeks and beak.
Step 11: Orange beak
Colour the beak orange and the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes and the shell white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a chick egg, drawn by you.
