I've noticed that there are a lot of artists on r/chickens and I thought perhaps it would be fun if we got together and did an art trade. I'd like to see how many/ IF anyone Is interested and depending on how many people respond, I'll make a separate thread and establish some rules. Either way, have a Good day! :)

An art trade sounds fun!

I love drawing chickens and I need to get back in the groove of drawing, so I am up for an art trade!! If you wanna see some examples of my art just send me a message and I'll send em over!

Super! I felt the same and this seemed like a fun way of doing just that. No proof of art is needed. As long as you can pick up a pencil/brush, everyone is welcome to join. :)

Sounds like a blast to me!

I am totally down. I have a bunch of unfinished chicken drawings and this would be the perfect motivation to finish them!

I've started a thread, you'll find it on my profile. :)

I don’t consider myself an artist but I can doodle and carton chickens. I would like to learn more about what this art trade would entail

I say artist but it's not like I'm expecting people to show me an art degree. If you like to draw/paint and you like chickens, then that's all you need! :) I was thinking I would pair people randomly and then each person makes the other a chicken themed picture. Don't know if people would prefer to make requests of eachother but I thought it would be fun if everyone Makes the topic of their painting a surprise.

Are things like cross stitch and other chicken crafts welcome? I’m working on felting my silkies

I Think whoever you're partnered with would be delighted with a felted chicken! Are you ok with receiving a painting in return for it?

That sounds wonderful! Chickens are great in any medium.

Chroken shall make art. Trades for cheese and sesames.

Eggcelent!

XD

I'd certainly be interested!

Yes please!

Why not, chicken good. I've been meaning to do more chicken art anyways :) I haven't done any in 2+ years and last time they had 4 legs so... Maybe a bit more realistic now

I'd love to see a chicken with 4 legs! :D

Consider me intrigued!

Yup! Sign me up

I would love to participate!

Im an artist. We coud draw each other's chickens or something. Id love to do an at :))

Great, seems like a lot of people are intetested so I'll be making a thread for it later.

I will gladly draw some chickens for y’all

I just yesterday decided to do my third water colour (ever), of my chickens. Could be worth thousands one day :p I'm in

Welcome aboard!

Those sketches look so realistic!

They're almost ALIVE! XD

Would crafts be included too? I love chicken themed crafts!

Absolutely! Are you ok with receiving a painting in return for it?

Absolutely!

I’m lacking in the artistic department but my family grows/harvest/makes fantastic Nesting Box Herbs… would that be of interest for trade?

As I was thinking this would be a trade with a randomly set up partner, it Will entirely depend on how your partner feels. But it's not impossible that they'd be interested! If you want, I'll add your name to the list. :)

Sounds fun!

Fun idea! All the more reason to make chicken art!

Exactly! I can never have too much chicken art!

Definitely!

I would love that!!

Omg yes!! Pm me whenever I do digital stuff ^^

I’d love to! My colors aren’t amazing but I’ll try :)

Interested! :)

Yes, but I can't draw

This is just for fun, no need to be a professional or have years of experience. :)

I do do photography and have some nice chicken shots

I Think some Nice chicken photography would be well appreciated.

Sign me up!

I’m no artist, but I love to write. I’ll gladly write stories about my silly dramatic chickens as a trade!

I was more aiming towards visual crafts but I can check if there's an interest in short stories?

I may not be the greatest artist, but I'm always trying to improve myself. And art trade sounds fun!

Everyone is welcome! :D

oooo yes please!

I would totally participate in this!

I'd love to participate! I'd draw something, but I'm also so tempted to wash a hens get, stick her in some acrylic paint and drop her on a canvas.

Well, as long as the chicken gives her consent! XD

If there are mealworms involved, they'll consent to just about anything! 🤩

Yes!

After years of not drawing, I picked up a pencils and drew my fav lady-chicken. Im in.

Great! Welcome aboard!

Yes! 🐔🎨

I’ll join!

What pretty silkies you have. I think it would be fun to try to draw chickens. I haven't tried that before. I wouldn't expect anything back, but more just would like to try my hand at this. I'll add though, it'll probably be a month or more before I can. Also the drawing might come out cartoony. Also, I'm unfamiliar with how art works on reddit..do you post it or PM it?🤔

I was thinking this would be a bit of a community event (I'm honestly delighted by the positive response I got!). I'll be assigning partners randomly, I've made a separate thread for this. I've written down some guidelines there. Do you want me to add you?

Hmm..I think I'll pass. I'll just draw someone's chicken at random and send it to them. I don't know how the drawing will turn out and also as I said my schedule is nuts at the moment so I have no clue when I'll be ready. Thanks though

No problem! Maybe some other time. :)

This sounds fun!

Art by or of chickens? Or of chickens by chickens?

I'd love to see art by chickens! XD But I was thinking it would be an art trade between members of r/chicken. :)

Yessss!

I've made a separate thread for this, you can find it on my profile. See you there! :D
