Rooster Drawings

Take a look at these rooster drawings in pencil.

Pencil Drawing Of A Rooster

This was the first drawing I did. I got a little carried away and put in all the detail.

It looks complicated, but it wasn't any trouble to draw.

As it turns out, this pencil rooster drawing was voted the most favorite by my family.


About Roosters

Drawing Of A Rooster

If you decide to do drawings of roosters, here's some information you might like to know beforehand.

A chicken is a hen or a rooster.

A rooster or a cockerel is the male chicken. A cockerel is a young rooster.

Chickens are different to other birds because they have a comb on top of their heads and wattles that hang from their beaks and earlobes.

Male chickens have bony growths called spurs on their legs.

Combs and wattles are normally red in color and have a fleshy appearance. Combs vary in shape and size.

I drew this rooster's head specifically so I could show you the detail in his face. Drawing Of A Rooster Head

The rooster guards nesting hens and he doesn't like other roosters coming into his territory.

He likes to sit about 4 feet off the ground to be a lookout.

A Capon is a castrated rooster.

Once castrated, a rooster's comb and wattles stop growing.

The hackle, tail and saddle feathers grow longer than normal. The hackle is the neck and the saddle is on the back near the tail.

A Capon is more docile than a rooster and is not known to fight.

Cockerels crow at the first sight of light.

The Rooster is also a sign in the Chinese Zodiac. Anyone born under this sign is said to have a strong, independent spirit. They are also practical, resourceful, honest and observant.

Rooster Drawing

If you're going to do some rooster drawings, keep in mind the information I have provided for you here.

You need to know what to include in your drawing to make it authentic and true to life.

I did these pencil drawings of roosters with a 2B mechanical or retractable pencil.

It only took me about 2 to 3 hours to do the lot. I know these drawings aren't perfect but I'm happy to get these results from my efforts. I just draw because I love it and I like to see what I'm capable of doing.
