Easter Chick Art – Draw Step by Step!

Let’s draw more than just a little chick—let’s create Easter chick art! By adding details bit by bit, you can turn even a small drawing into a picture full of atmosphere.

You only need colored pencils and paper. My drawing is about 10 x 14 cm (4 x 5,5 inches).

Step 1 – The Shape of the Chick

Color two circles that blend into each other.

Step 2 – Features of the Chick

Use a darker color to add shadows so that the head and the body are distinct from each other. Then, add the eye and the beak.

Step 3 – The Chick’s Legs

Draw large legs that attach to the body at an angle.

Step 4 – Decorations

Get creative and decorate your chick! Notice that decorations can extend outside the body. For example, I added a bow.

If you draw an Easter egg under the chick, sketch it at this stage. This way, you can add decorations so the chick looks balanced on top of the egg.

Step 5 – The Egg

Color the Easter egg. Use your imagination – what happens to the egg when the chick stands on it? My egg has opened, and hearts are bursting out into the air.

Rotate the paper to adjust the shape of the egg.

Step 6 – The Background

Add decorations, grass, and colorful lights to the background.

Keep the background light so the chick stands out. Color lightly and soften the colors with white and light gray.

Continuity helps create a balanced look. In my drawing, the rainbow in the background continues on the other side.

Step 7 – Finishing Your Easter Chick Art

Spend some time finishing your drawing. Color carefully to ensure full coverage where needed so that the chick’s colors are bright and no paper shows through near the outlines.

Hearts and Stories!

I like drawing hearts. They are so simple and direct, yet they make the drawing feel warm-hearted. I also have a course about them: Hearts and Stories!

Let’s keep drawing!
