multiple ‘do you draw in pencil/how messy are your sketches/do you practice drawing ducks a lot/have you drawn any more Magicstone/plz draw kiss’ asks= cheat answer post
my sketchbooks are a trainwreck I do nothing in order use identical notepads and label none of them don’t be like me kids
real scribbly sketch of the cousins I forgot I did a while ago, think I was trying to show their personalities with the walks
was talking to a friend who I may have got into the Gladstone/Magica ship about if post Sorceress’s Apprentice they had to walk past each other in the office and Miss Quackfaster totally sees what is up
SO I really adore @modmad’s Gladstone redesign, and I wanted to practice ducks and tears s o-
Yep.
Are they happy tears?? Maybe- the world may never know…
(aw shucks) and hm you could be right there- but I sketched these left handed and threw the lines over in a pretty quick time. It’s kind of hard to describe but I see the forelock are a tube but also like two marshmallow shapes smushed together. The curls are likewise basically three cylinders wrapped around the back of the head but with enough jaggedyness to look organic? that said I just did these for fun I doubt Disney is gonna be like ‘hey can we use these’
realized I kinda made Gladstone’s legs longer than in Donald’s design but then I was like
what if he’s significantly taller than Donald
warm up sketch- kinda wanted to imply an artist sitting in the Blackjack Ballroom catching this gal being momentarily out of her showtime character and sketching it
I’m super tired and bored of still being ill so now you get assorted mostly-left-handed Birds Being Soft >:T
repeatedly getting asked how to draw the ducks’ beaks and the truth is I’m still learning how to do it myself! these are some notes I made to help myself though so maybe you’ll be able to understand them???
I imagine the cartoon beaks to be very flexible but kind of ‘meaty’, like pliable leather or fabric stretched over a strong but bendy plastic/wire/foam structure
