Drawing, Sketching and Shading – 3

Did you know that June 9th was the birthday of Donald Duck? We shall dedicate this week’s sketch to him!

Donald’s first appearance was in 1934 in “The Wise Little Hen”. It was his second appearance in “Orphan’s Benefit” which introduced him as a comic foil to Mickey Mouse and made him more famous! Donald Duck has some amazing expressions, thanks to his illustrators and animators! But first, let’s learn how to sketch Donald Duck, shall we?

Donald has a few memorable phrases for different situations. For example, when things don’t go as he’d planned or don’t work properly, he often says, “What’s the big idea?!”. When he has given up on something he’s been trying to do, or something he’s been hoping will happen, he tends to say, “Aw, phooey!”. He greets his friend Daisy, and occasionally others, with, “Hiya, toots!”.
