Mother Hen


Mother Hen, originally uploaded by Jetta's Nest.

I've been working on this drawing for the last couple of days. I've used one of my super fine (0.05) pens to draw it with and the lines are very fine and most certainly fun to draw.

The chook in the drawing is my Cherry. We got her at the local market while she was tiny and still cheeping and over the last couple of months she has grown to be our biggest and most beautiful chicken. She's so soft and round and fluffy and glossy. She loves a snuggle and she treats us to one perfect egg every morning without fail.
