Many ducks are famous in the media, Lucas and Donald are not the least important. I myself take a different approach to cartoon ducks and waterfowl, and this is a great creature for kids to start with. They are really basic shapes and easy to put together. This is a really forgiving body type for people who also struggle with art. Try some of these easy ideas with your kids or class and see what they come up with.
1. the graceful swan– Almost always depicted in female form, it can be difficult to keep a male swan from looking feminine just because of that fact, and the trademark of a swan is the S-shaped neck, which makes it even more difficult to make a “swan”. boy”. The black markings on the orange bill prevent the swan, boy or girl, from looking like the goofy goose. Try to give the swan graceful and graceful curves, and remember small eyes without eyelashes for children.
two. The silly goose Bright, shiny eyes and a rounder bill on a gray body give the goose its distinctive look. Keep that neck a little shorter and thicker than the swan’s, and turn the webbed feet inward to give the animal the appearance of waddling even in a still image. Geese should look humorous and playful, and few appear alone in any type of medium. If you’re drawing a flock of geese, try giving them different personalities and see how they turn out.
3. ducklings galore– Ducklings almost always come in groups, you really have to have a tight size as it will look bad having five of them of different sizes. Start with just one, and most of them have ridiculously large heads, I like mine to look a bit more realistic, so play around with it and see where it goes. Ovals and circles, that’s it.
Four. extraordinary water heron– These guys always seem so stuffy and rude to me, a bit posh and moody. Small eyes, extremely long legs, and sharp angles. That’s what these guys are built on. They are very upright and have large wing spans when allowed to. Feathers make fingers when needed, and you can be very human in your gestures because of this. Cranes and even pelicans follow rules similar to this.
5. Drake Breed Differences– Mallards are the most popular choice of wild duck; domestic white or gray geese are usually what you see. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative with some of the lesser-known animals, like Canada Geese or the Loon. Try a few and remember the small head, big body rule. Your bird should show its personality, whether it’s goofy, smug, or serious. Add little touches of realism, like correct colors to the plumage and minimize the exaggerations if you can, the cartoon will be more believable and a little less Daffy-like.
