Bring a colourful water bird to your page with Monkey Pen and learn how to draw a mallard duck step by step using smooth body shapes and easy feather details.

Step 1: First draw the beak that is long and flat.

Step 2: Draw a curved line inside the beak and include a small nostril.

Step 3: Make a big, upside-down “U” that extends below in a curved line. This forms the head.

Step 4: Under the beak, draw a small curve for the neck and a big "C"-shaped curved line for the chest.

Step 5: Behind the head, add a long, narrow oval-shaped wing.

Step 6: Continue the wing below.

Step 7: The wing is extended slightly below using curved lines.

Step 8: Complete the bottom outline of the wing with a wide "V"-shaped curved line.

Step 9: Draw a gentle curved line along the body surface to show the raised wing.

Step 10: Include short, jagged lines behind the wing for the soft feathers.

Step 11: Join the soft feathers and the chest to form the lower bodyline.

Step 12: Draw a few narrow “U”s inside the wing that indicate the layers.

Step 13: Behind it, add the next layer of feathers.

Step 14: Around the tail wing, draw tiny gentle curves.

Step 15: Draw a series of tiny curves one below the other around the neck.

Step 16: Add a round eye to the bird.

Step 17: Darken the eye black, leaving a small white highlight.

Step 18: Make wavy lines under the duck to show the water ripples.

Step 19: Add a few more ripples underneath.

Step 20: You have sketched a mallard duck beautifully.
