That's HARDLY an abomination! It's actually VERY good! The only thing "difference" I see between the front and the back is the "depth" in the back end. The body and legs have subtle shadings, even in what looks like solid areas. The head details look solid, with no shading at all. Compare the beak and comb to the hatched feet and you can see the difference.
Personally, I think the color print looks great, but if you really think it needs work, that's where I would concentrate.
Uhh, I googled welsummer, found this pic that's kinda close.
Obviously I traced over here, but it's mostly to show you the structures I'd try to emulate if I was drawing it. The chest line continues to curve up, and the Jaw is set in front of it.
Yours honestly looks great, I don't think it needs to be changed. With out shading I think you're about as close as you can get.

Thank you! I wish I knew how to add more detail to the front that doesn’t look bad. The back is easy because it has a complex pattern, but the front doesn’t. And I’m bad at shading skin.
I prefer the Campine. But that’s because the color in digital art seems so harsh and gaudy. I prefer pencil because of this.
^^^ this one used an actual, live bird reference. I drew my favorite bantam Buckeye pullet.

Ahh, it's hard to draw from other peoples art. ^u^
I see. When I drew the jaw it just juts out. The way you illustrate it looks more natural. It makes sense. Thanks!
*finger guns*
Yep and that’s why I go reference free. Also I think I got the tail way better.
Yeah, I think so too.
That's why I prefer to use real life pics as reference. Each person sees things slightly differently. Different structures are more important to you than they are to me.
As an example, the way I stuck those lines on the chickens back, there really isn't a back line. I have neck, wing, tail. Where as, you might have the line go sloping from the neck to the tail and the wing be it's own thing. Neither is wrong, but it would make it look different.
If you were going off my art, or If I were going off yours it would look a lot less like what the chicken actually looked like, since both of us would cut out the lines we didn't feel were necessary, and emphasize the lines we think are important.

I was messing around with a sharpie and I think this picture of one of my hens turned out pretty good. Even though the beak is too big and the eye is in the wrong place.
