How to Draw a Duck
- Depict the beak.
Let’s start drawing with the duck’s beak. Draw it as in my example.
- Depict the head and neck
At this point, sketch out the outline of the head and the neck using smooth lines.
- Draw the eyes and a ring on the neck.
Using a circle draw the duck’s eye. Draw a short curved line to depict a ring on the neck.
- Depict the torso.
The torso is very easy to draw, because it’s shape is like a leaf.
- Depict the wing.
First, draw an oval line to represent the border of the wing. After that add feathers.
- Add details.
Draw two lines on the duck’s wing. This will be the part of the wing in which the color of the feathers is different.
- Draw the legs.
In the lower part depict the legs using simple lines.
- Erase the guidelines.
Remove all unnecessary guidelines, because this gives the drawing a finished look.
- Color the drawing.
That’s it, now you can paint the bird. Ducks are usually yellow-green or brown, but you can choose other colors that you like.
So, we have reached the end of the duck drawing lesson. I hope my drawing guide helped you.
