Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The round body
Draw a big round body shape with a little bump sticking out on each side for the wings. Leave the top open for now, because the hat will cover it.
Step 3: Hat and brim
Draw a wide, flat oval across the top of the body for the hat brim. Then draw a tall hat above it with slightly slanted sides and a gently curved top.
Step 4: The hat band
Near the bottom of the tall hat, draw two short, thick bands, one on the left and one on the right. Fill them in solid and leave a gap in the middle.
Step 5: The square buckle
In the gap between the two bands, draw a small square with rounded corners. Draw a smaller square inside it to make the buckle.
Step 6: Eyes and beak
Draw two round dots for eyes, set wide apart. Between them and a little lower, draw a small rounded oval for the beak.
Step 7: The left wing
On the left side of the body, draw a short curved line inside the wing bump. It matches the wing on the right and makes the left wing look tucked in.
Step 8: The clover
Next to the left side of the chick, draw a puffy clover shape made of rounded bumps. Add a short stem sloping down from the bottom.
Step 9: Little feet
At the bottom of the body, draw two small feet. Each one is a little rounded shape with tiny toe bumps along the bottom.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.
