practice heads and an old how-do-ducks thing from patreon (drawn over the far superior model sheet of Carl Barks to demonstrate my blob body/limbs technique): these days I almost always do the blobs left handed and the line right handed, but it gets switched up occasionally. I do this random-floating-heads thing once in a while especially if I feel I’ve gotten foggy on forms
Anonymous asked: thank you so much for all the duck art, also can I just say THANK you for making all your duck ladies the round soft actual duck-shaped-ducks that they are? I've always been curvy and cuddly and I always loved that Daisy, Magica, Goldie etc. were so comfortable and fabulous and confident with that beautiful soft pear shape they- and I- have. I really like how you keep them true to that and allow them to be beautiful and (in a way) sexy! Not despite it, but because of it? You embrace it so well.
aah shucks man, thanks, and same? a lot of my favourite gals from the Disney ‘verse- like Magica, Clucky from Robin Hood, Ursula from the Little Mermaid etc.- are shapely, powerful, funny and confident and they look fantastic but it’s partly because they absolutely know that they look fantastic. I love lots of the slender built characters too, but there’s something so wonderful and empowering about the comic duck characters because they are… ducks! They never disguise that. They make use of the fact that they’re small, comical and cuddly, and yet that never in any way dents the heartfelt moments and the serene dignity that they can portray. Sometimes they’re put at a disadvantage because they are so short! But they can always overcome it, and nobody ever ‘looks down’ on them in terms of intelligence or strength. They always somehow match sincerity and elegance with their fun loving comedy, and they are every inch as- if not more- beautiful to me as the conventional princesses!
Today, March 14th, is the day you guys! My blog becomes one year old. Yikes, it happened… too fast. Anyways, I decided to do some kind of redraw of my first pic posted here to celebrate! I wouldn’t say this is an improvement because my style went a bit too off-model, but… at least it changed haha. I may just do a redraw of this poor thing every year!
Now I want to thank you all duck ppl! You have been so good and patient to this dumb girl, and I swear, if I am still drawing and trying to imporve, it is because of you! You keep me motivated. I would like to say thanks personally to each one of you, but- I hope this helps. I swear I’ve never been in such a good fandom, thank you so much for the experience!
If you remember this drawing, gosh, it has been so long, eh? Obviously you don’t have to, but I would love to know how did you got to know about my trashy blog. I’m just curious aaaa. Luvya!
I drew these way too fast ajsfnjskd anyway, it ducks and they pokemon!
I love these all so much, but I’m standing by what I said on my main blog so I had to make a quick addition to that Gladstone one.
I just really like Victini and Gladstone being friends ok.
-Mod Bulb
That’s a Good Addition
Um, may I also add something @modmad …? I’m not very good at drawing yet, but I think these Pokémon would suit Donald. :)
I believe Wingull would suit Donald partly because Wingull is a Water/Flying-type, but also because it’s a Pokémon famous for safely leading lost sailors back to land. Once it evolves to Pelipper it will also be a force to reckon with in battle, and until then it’s a small but fast Pokémon I can imagine Donald to have. \^w^/
Meanwhile I believe Gardevoir would suit Donald very well because they’re both very protective about those they hold dear. ♥
“Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life.” - Gardevoir’s Pokédex-entry.
Again, both Donald and Gardevoir are very protective towards those they care about, so I think it would benefit Donald to have one. Let’s be honest too… Donald could need someone who looks after him for once. x)
I was going to add more Pokémon to the picture, but my “skills” weren’t really enough for them, so I hope you don’t mind I only drew two Pokémon. ^_^;
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
