Features: The chicken is one of the main varieties of domestic fowl and has been a popular subject for painters throughout history. There are many breeds of chickens, but regardless of their external appearance and feather colors, their basic structure remains the same. Chickens are naturally active, so their forms vary greatly. Even when sketching chickens in real life, accurately capturing their movements is extremely difficult, requiring long-term observation and extensive practice to freely depict various chicken poses. To help beginners master the movement principles and dynamic characteristics in a short time, we have collected over 100 different postures of chickens painted by renowned Chinese masters and skilled chicken painters in this book. They are categorized into roosters, hens, and chicks, covering all angles: front, side, top, bottom, standing, lying, walking, jumping, drinking, pecking, fighting, and calling. Learning to paint chickens, this is an indispensable reference book, and we hope it will be well-received by beginners.
