I love to draw cats.
Cats are really just a bunch of circles and triangles.
Meet Pekoe.
Pekoe is two circles, and two triangles.
Okay now.
To draw a chicken, you first draw a cat:
Next, you have to decide whether you really want to draw a chicken.
Whichever route you take, you're pretty much there.
Chickens are made up of a bunch of circles and triangles, just like cats.
Marky is, too, for that matter.

Happy sketching!
