Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Once you’ve learned the fundamentals and sequence of drawing, you’ll be able to sketch and draw literally anything.
Step 2
Sketch these two weird looking noodles as you see in the picture. They represent the head and body of Donald Duck.
Step 3
Draw them in the same or similar proportions to each other to keep the body posture balanced.
Step 4
Sketch a light center guide along with both noodles.
Step 5
Sketch the hand (wing). Notice that each hand (wing) looks like a half crescent moon.
Step 6
Here we start adding more detailed body parts sketches.
Sketch hands, outline face contours and more
hat on the head. Also, don’t forget to outline the tail.
Step 7
You now have a basic sketch of the Donald Duck’s stature.
Step 8
Make sure that all body parts are in proportion as this step will determine the entire look.
You’ve noticed that the Donald Duck drawing sequence is super simple and easy to follow.
Step 9
Sketch the fingers and beak as you see in the picture.
If you make a mistake, write the wrong pencil strokes, you can simply erase them and continue sketching.
If you are unsure, sketch each section on a separate sheet of paper or newspaper.
Step 10
Now, outline the rest of all possible details on Donald’s body in the following order:
eye
hair
sleeve on his jacket
ribbons and buttons on the chest
tail
foot
Step 11
Start erasing unnecessary pencil lines one by one.
A pen-shaped eraser, if you have one, comes in very handy.
After erasing all the original pencil instructions, you will get an image similar to this one.
Fine-tune the contour, even more, erase the remaining pencil dust and you’ll have a clean base to paint on.
Step 12
Now, you can say that you have learned how to draw Donald Duck. The rest is coloring.
Step 13
Coloring Donald Duck is very simple and easy because there are only several colors to color.
If possible, color the characters in the following order:
blue sailor jacket – leave enough room for the yellow buttons and yellow stripe on the sleeves
blue sailor hat
red ribbon on chest
mine
foot
Now, before you go on, sharpen the black pencil and sketch clear and sharp outlines on each part of the character.
Don’t use graphite pencils, as graphite pencils leave a shiny surface and you don’t want that.
Observe the picture and make your final strokes in the same or better way.
