Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

sarroora:

*Donald, Gladstone and Fethry on a trip, taking selfies and enjoying each other’s company* 

Me: 

*Fethry loving his cousins so much and wanting everyone to get along* 

Me: 

*Donald being mature and actually understanding that Gladstone wants to feel involved with his family and cousins* 

Me:

Anonymous asked: sorry your hands are hurting uncle mod! question- you draw Gladstone with a pretty sharp beak, is his beak different from the other ducks?

me too buddy, it’s really thrown out my plans for drawing stuff- as for the question, yes! It depends on the artist as to how much it differs but Gladstone generally has a straighter and sharper beak than the others in the duck family;

He even gets called ‘chisel-beak’ or ‘chisel-features’ in a couple of stories, which I assume is a pun on the literal shape of his beak along with a ‘chiseller’ being a cheat or swindler. These are pretty exaggerated but on the whole it’s usually fairly subtle-

Daisy, Donald and Scrooge all have much the same, round-ish type of beak, but there’s also some variety in other family members’ beaks, like Gus Goose here has a very different beak type, and cousin Fethry has the pointiest one of all of them!

won’t really be able to start work on whichever one wins for a bit, but there’s a poll for which Gladstone doodle comic I’ll try to make next on my twitter if you want in on that
