In that lesson, I will show you how to draw a duck with a pencil step by step for beginners. We draw a domestic white duck, a duck. Duck belongs to the Anseriformes family. I can’t say anything more about ducks, because I don’t know anything about them, they are just used in food, I didn’t eat it myself.
Here is a photo of our duck.
Let's start with the head. Draw a circle to make it easier to draw, the curve showed the middle of the head, then I drew the eye, it is in the middle closer to the top. Then we need to draw the beak and head, the length of the beak is slightly more than the diagonal of the circle, located at 45 degrees. Erase the circle.
Now we need to sketch out the neck and body. To make it more correct for us, we make a sketch, the neck is like a dotted line, the body is so straight, i.e. we look at the shape and try to figure out what the curves are and how we can simply represent them.
For convenience, I drew only one paw, look at the second in the next picture. We draw a small tail, with small curves we show the wing.
We draw the second paw. To make it more realistic, we erase the outline where it was imitating feathers. We also imitate feathers all over the body. We make the bottom and middle of the neck a little darker because of the shadow, help you look at the photo of the duck. We apply shadows on the beak, a little on the head. The duck drawing is ready.
Imagine that one fine day your child comes from school and says: “Mom, we were asked to draw a duck at the ART, help me, I don’t know how!” Probably every parent has faced this situation at least once in their life. You take the album with a sigh and see diligent attempts to portray this
However, what is captured on the sheet looks like a head and tail, a giant plum tree that has come to life, a feathered egg with paws - in a word, anything but a bird called “duck”. And then you realize that you yourself are unlikely to draw something more artistic! But after all, the baby looks at you with eyes full of hope, but you are an adult, which means you can do absolutely everything! Under no circumstances should you let your child down.
How to draw a duck? Puzzled by this question, you, as a parent, put off household chores, start thinking about how to portray this bird? Our article details what to do. So, let's begin.
How to draw a duck with a pencil step by step
First you need to decide what kind of bird you need - from those that importantly walk around the neighbor's yard, or those that talk and get into funny troubles in children's cartoons? Let's try both! So that immediately twelve points in the magazine and a drawing teacher in a swoon? No sooner said than done!
How to draw a cartoon duck
To begin with, draw a circle approximately in the middle of the album sheet and below it - a large oval. Then smoothly, giving the lines the shape of the neck of the future duck, connect the circle-head and oval-body. Next, draw a small, slightly pointed arc on the left side of the oval - this will be the tail.
Then inside the circle draw a smaller circle - the eye. In front, not far from him, draw a beak to the circle. And draw a wing, for this, add another oval in the oval body, in the shape of a diagonally inclined chicken egg.
Now the most anticipated moment has come, because you are moving on to the details. Draw another small circle inside the eye - the pupil - and shade it halfway. Then carefully draw the head and neck along the contour, circle the torso, add a wavy line of feathers on the wing and erase the extra lines of the former circle and oval, and now full-fledged parts of the duck body, with an eraser. Voila!
How to draw a duck that lives with grandma?
Start in a familiar pattern - a circle for the head, but a small one, below a large oval for the torso. Connect the head with the body with smooth lines, making the neck and convex chest. Draw a tail, marking the feathers at its tip with an uneven Christmas tree.
Add an elongated beak to the circle-head, and to the body-oval, using vertical lines, legs, to which draw triangles-paws. Then draw a small eye and carefully draw the shape of the beak, head, neck and, of course, the torso. With a slightly carved arc, mark the line of the wing, draw the legs. Remember that ducks have webbed toes. That's it, your bird is ready!
Now you know how to draw a duck with a pencil, but the kid will color it on his own.
In this lesson I will show you . I have already written a lot of lessons about birds: starling, crow, dove, titmouse, woodpecker, and even a parrot. This one will be like a continuation of the theme of birds. But, first, a short classification of ducks:
- Duck is a bird.
- The drake is the husband of the duck.
- Mallard is a wild bird, but also a duck.
- Mandarin is a feathered representative.
- Peking duck is such a yummy, invented by the Chinese.
- An aerodynamic "duck" is a scheme of such an aircraft.
- A newspaper duck is a piece of non-reality bullshit presented by the media that should occupy your brain for a while.
- A duck in shipbuilding is a device for attaching all kinds of ropes on board.
But just as we will draw a feathered one, I’ll tell you more interesting things about the mating rituals of ducks:
- Ducks have flown in to build nests in the spring and begin to look for a mate.
- The male is generally prettier. And all in order to attract a female. During the mating season, it becomes even brighter: beauties, simply irresistible.
- In the spring, there are fewer ducks and males have to participate in serious fights in order to achieve their missus.
- Several males surround the duck, performing ritual dances.
- And the male, pleased with himself, makes a “lap of honor” around the chosen one after mating.
Here, and while infa fits in the head, we are with you learning to draw a duck.
How to draw a duck with a pencil step by step
Step one. In the very center of the sheet, but at the bottom, draw a large elongated torso. The shape is somewhat similar to a loaf. Above on the right side is a circle. This is the future head. A beak goes to the side from her. Using an oval, connect the head and torso. 
Step two. We outline the resulting figures with a single smooth line, turning into a sharp tail. At the same time, the back is convex, the neck is curved, and the chest protrudes forward. Let's show the surface of the earth and the grass around our feathered guest. 
Step three. Let's draw a wing. It goes a little beyond the contour of the entire figure of the bird. Show the beak and eye. And in the foreground, in front of the duck, draw small flowers. 
Step four. Let's make the eye dark-dark and bright. Let's give it an almond shape. On the head is a spotted cap. All over the body - small feathers. Notice how the wings and tail are drawn. Let's add even more overgrowth around. 
Step five. There is not much. Take a soft pencil, trace the outline of the bird, select the wing. Let's decorate the grass a little with flowers. The duck is ready! Certainly not with apples. 
And in continuation of the topic, I propose to find out.
Duck is a domestic bird from the Anatidae family of the order Anseriformes. It looks like a goose, which we have already taught you how to draw on our website, but only much smaller in size and weight. Yes, this is not surprising, since both the duck and the goose belong to the same order of Anseriformes. The duck lives in the yards of the inhabitants of villages and villages, in poultry houses. She is a waterfowl. In addition to domestic ducks, there are also wild ducks. They live along the banks of various water bodies. The duck has a flattened, streamlined body densely covered with feathers. It has a flat beak and paws with webbed toes that help it swim in the water. Before the cold season, wild ducks fly away for wintering to warmer climes, and then return back to breed. Let's draw a duck step by step with a pencil and color it.
Stage 1. Drawing a duck is not at all difficult. First, draw the auxiliary lines that will serve as the basis of the body of our duck. A long oval in the center of a sheet of paper, in front of it is a long curve depicting the future wing. The lines of the duck's head depart from the oval.
Stage 2. We will now turn these initial lines from the first stage into the body of our duck. We draw the contours of a bird on them. We designate the beak, head, back, tail, abdomen and breast.
Stage 3. Now we detail the head. Refine the shape of the beak. It is flat with an extension at the end. There is an elongated nostril in the form of a slit on top of the beak. The duck's eye is large and round. With dashes we separate the head from the long neck, we make the border between the neck and the chest part of the body.
Stage 5. With the end lines we show the breast, abdomen, undertail part of the duck. We make additional strokes on the feathers of the wing.
Stage 6. Let's darken some parts of our drawing. This is the abdomen, undertail and the base of the beak.
Stage 7. If desired, you can color the duck. We have a male duck - a drake. We made the head of an emerald color with a bright yellow beak. The body, its feathers are brown with black patches. There is blue on the feathers. The drake, like many male animals and birds, is painted more brightly to attract a female during the mating season.
The bright yellow drawing of a duckling pleases the eye of any novice artist, because it is so similar in color and shape to a real domestic bird. In drawing, slate and colored pencils of different tones are useful.
Necessary materials:
- - paper;
- - eraser;
- - HB pencil;
- - colour pencils.
Drawing steps:
- At the initial stage, the torso and head of the duckling should be drawn with simple geometric shapes. To do this, draw a breast in the form of a large circle. Then add an oval at the bottom and a small circle at the top.
- The first sketches of the duckling are ready. Therefore, you can add to the drawing the silhouette of small wings, which are located on the sides of the body. On the head, draw an auxiliary line from the top point.
- Next, draw a small part of the duckling's tail at the bottom of the oval. In the form of a triangle. Add cheeks on the muzzle in the form of an oval and arc lines.
- We draw eyes in the form of small circles on the muzzle, as well as a beak. At the bottom of the picture, add thin paws.
- Draw three arcs to the paws in the lower part. We draw lines on the wings.
- We detail the entire drawing of the duckling, but in the beginning you should work on the outline. For example, replace simple lines. We finish the paws and muzzle. A step-by-step drawing of a duckling with a pencil is ready, so you can start coloring it.
- With a bright yellow pencil, completely paint over the drawing. Let's leave only untouched parts of the beak and eyes.
- Near the contour, we will go over the yellow areas of the picture with an orange pencil. So we get the volume on the body, head, paws and wings.
- Let's add strokes in the drawing with a red and burgundy pencil in the shadow parts, where there are already orange tones.
- 10. Finally, paint the beak and eye with a black pencil. Let's work on the shadow on the body, paws and wings. Let's go around the circuit.
A step-by-step drawing of a duckling with colored pencils is ready.
