Easily draw a duck with this easy-to-follow step-by-step drawing guide, specially designed for elementary and preschoolers!
Greetings youngsters! In this creative tutorial we will show you how to draw a duck in a simple way so that you can easily recreate them all. So quack-quack - let's start the process and bring our beloved feathered friend to life on paper!
Did you know that ducks are part of a large family of waterfowl that includes around 150 species? They are of average to small body size with short necks and legs covered by transverse shields. Ducks also exhibit a remarkable range of colors depending on the species. These feathered creatures can now be found all over the world - with the exception of a few islands in the ocean region!
Now that we have our preliminary sketch of a birdie in the duck drawing tutorial, let's move on to the next step. To begin this part of the lesson you will need some basic art supplies such as pens/markers/erasers and blank paper. Don't worry about anything else - we've got all your other needs covered!
Draw a duck head
In the center of the page, sketch an oval with a flattened top to create your duck's head.
Draw the eye and the beak
In order for the duck to notice us, we sketch an eye. Near the top left corner of his head, draw a small circle with a black dot inside. To complete his beak, add another curved line near his face and create an irregular shape around him.
Draw the duck's body
Move away from your head a few steps and draw an ovoid oval to the right where it should be slightly pointed for creating the tail.
Draw the neck
Create the connection between the head and body by sketching a neck. To do this, draw two vertical lines of equal length.
Draw a wing
Before finishing with the neck, draw a horizontal line across it to add more style. Now let's create the wing in the center of the body - similar in size and shape to your creature's own character. To decorate this feature even further, sketch some feathers on the right side with horizontal lines.
Draw the legs
To bring our duck to life we need to draw its paws. It might seem daunting at first, but trust me - you can do it! Just look at the illustration and see how it's done; then go ahead and replicate one foot next to the other. Don't rush; Your commitment will be rewarded!
Color the duck
Our duck's head will be a vibrant green, the top of her neck and wings an ethereal grey, while her body will be a rich shade of brown. Finally, it will have a fiery orange beak and legs.
