How To Draw a Baby Duck with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle. This will form the duck’s head.
Step 2
Extend a long, curved line from the bottom of the circle to form the duckling’s neck, chest, and belly. Extend a shorter curved line from the circle to form the nape.
Step 3
Use a series of curved lines to outline the duckling’s wings. Notice how the top of the wing consists of a single curve, while the bottom of the wing is a scalloped pattern of connected “U” shaped lines. Also note that the wing is not fully enclosed where it attaches to the body.
Step 4
Detail the wing with a feather texture by drawing a series of connected “U” shaped lines. Then, draw the tail with a long curved line and a few short curves, completely enclosing the duck’s body.
Step 5
Draw the beak using curved lines. Notice the bulge at the tip of the beak and how the top and bottom of the beak overlap. Enclose a curved triangle on the lower part of the beak to indicate an open mouth.
Step 6
Delete the guide lines from the mine.
Step 7
Draw baby propeller. Use parallel curved lines to draw the legs, then outline a “W” shape at the bottom to enclose the toes. Draw a curved line between each toe to represent the membrane that helps the duck swim.
Step 8
Use curved lines to outline the remaining leg and foot. Notice the overlap of the lines at the flex of the ankle and the line separating the individual toes.
Step 9
Detail your duckling. Draw a small oval on the beak to indicate the nostril. Draw a large circle for the eye, with a small oval inside. Shade between the two sections and draw short curved lines on top of the eyes to represent the lashes. Draw a curved, pointed shape above the eyes for the eyebrows, and draw a plume of feathers on top of the head using a series of short curved lines that meet at sharp points. Remove guide lines as necessary. Finally, detail the body with hatches at the neck and side of the wings.
Step 10
Color your duck. Many are depicted in bright yellow, as in our example. However, ducklings can also be white, gray, brown, black, spotted or striped.
