Digital Illustration Basics: Drawing From Reference Images

Hello Afanyiii, Thank you for sharing your delightful duck!  The proportion and placement of the shapes in both the body and head are excellent.  The front facing pose is trickier than a side pose and you did it very well. There are subtle things that make a duck stand out from other birds, like the thickness and curve of the neck and the curve of the head below the beak.  You drew  those perfectly.  You also captured how the weight shifts when they move, it’s a friendly movement.  The friendliness then continues in your finishing touches of the hat, scarf and face!  Excellent work!  Joe
