Learn to draw and paint Donald Duck

Here comes the second lesson on drawing Donald Duck. Here we are going to draw it and paint it with Acrylic paints.

First of all draw a Donald (google some Donald wallpapers and draw one). Bear with the picture clarity. You can hardly see anything on the initial sketch below, as I made the sketch very light with pencil; keeping in mind that lines should not be seen after painting.

Here it goes...
Donald's body will be white in color, but never leave the body with out painting white even if the paper on which you are painting is white. In the below snapshot you will see that I have painted the body of Donald white and shirt with light blue.I am going to paint the shirt in 2 different shades. So, I added a tinge of navy blue and white to the light blue I used to paint the cap. Fill the strips near handcuffs and collar neatly with lemon yellow. Paint the legs with light brown as shown below.Oops! I painted the legs too dark. I added 3 brown + 1 white and painted the legs again to make it lighter. The beak is also painted in the same color. The bow tie and tongue are painted in red.Now lets paint the background; the easiest part. Its your wish to create your own background. I have done it like this...The last and most important part is to draw outlines. It brings a lot of change and grace to the picture. The final one looks like this...The drawings I make have no comparison to the master piece the legend had created. So, I keep on practicing ;-)
