Step 1: Draw a big circle near the middle of the paper as a guide for the chick's body. First make four small marks to indicate its height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make mistake. If you're struggling to draw the circle, trace the outer rim of a cup, a lid or any other object with a circular edge.

Step 2: On the top, right side, draw a small circle as a guide for the chick's head. Make four small marks to indicate the circle's height and width, and then connect the marks using curved lines. This circle should be about two- thirds the size of the first one. The edges of the circles should touch.
