Monkey Island Feral Chicken Fridge Magnets
Monkey Island series is the best adventure game I had the opportunity to play. In the third part "Curse of the Monkey Island" Guybrush lands on an island named Plunder where he finds some Feral Chicken.
Some time back I had the opportunity to make fridge magnets that looked like those chicken. Now I'm about to make some more of them and I thought that I can make a tutorial showing how to make them by yourself.

Place the chicken on a piece of wood and paint them with grey undercoat.
Sketch
Sketch the pattern with a pencil.
Colors
Start with painting the eyes, then comb and the beak.
Contours
Using a permanent marker with a large tip paint the contours. Next using a fine tip market correct the places that you were unable to get with the first marker and finish all of the lines inside the pattern.
Magnet
Back side can be painted black but this is only an option. When the paint dries up lay the hot glue and place the magnet.
