    Smile Need help with creating penguin applet

    Hi. I got a project where I have to make an applet of any picture or object. I choose a penguin. I am basically almost done, however, I need help on how to create his beak and arms. I just need to know what method to use to make and set the arms and beak.


    For reference, I am trying to make this picture https://imgur.com/a/95E22Is

    This is the code

     
    import java.awt.*; // Imports art utils
    import javax.swing.*; //Imports program used to show graphics
    public class Penguin extends Canvas // Class name and allows class to be used elsewhere
    {
      public static void main (String [] args) //Main method
      {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Penguin"); //Creates a new JFrame (method used to display code)
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // Makes the code exit when the exit button is pressed
        Canvas canvas = new Penguin(); //Creates new canvas
        canvas.setSize(600, 600); //Sets canvas size
        canvas.setBackground(Color.cyan);//Sets canvas background
        frame.add(canvas);// Adds canvas to frame to show
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true); //Allows canvas to show
     
      }
     
      public void paint(Graphics g) //Method used to create the graphics 
     
      {
        //All declerations made here store a color in a variable through RGB values
        Color e = new Color ( 0,0,0);
        Color f = new Color ( 255, 153, 0);
        Color i = new Color ( 217, 217, 217);
        Color h = new Color ( 255, 255, 255);
     
        g.setColor (e); //Creates the penguins body
        g.fillOval (90,142, 400,400); 
     
        g.setColor (i); //Adds the penguins stomach and shadow
        g.fillOval (137,275, 305,260);
        g.setColor (h);
        g.fillOval (165,275, 250,250); 
     
        //Makes penguins feet
        g.setColor (f);
        g.fillOval (307,490, 190,75); 
        g.setColor (f);
        g.fillOval (90,490, 190,75);
     
        g.setColor (h); //Makes penguins eyes
        g.fillOval (190,152, 105,120); //Left eye
        g.setColor (h);
        g.fillOval (300,173, 135,100); //Right eye
     
        g.setColor (e);//Makes penguins pupils
        g.fillOval (304,205, 30,40);//Left pupil
        g.setColor (e);
        g.fillOval (245,190, 50,60); //Right pupil
     
     
     
     
     
      }//End of paint
    }

    What shapes are needed to draw the arms and beak?

    Look at the drawPolygon method to draw custom shapes.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I was thinking the arms could be right-angled triangles and the beak would be an equilateral with an arc on top. basically like the image I linked. ill use that method
