Glad to relate with you again believing that you all are fine as I am. I appreciate @shahariar1 for organising and sustaining this contest in the steem of animal community. Today I drew a Duck and I want to show you the steps I have taken in my drawing

What is a Duck
A duck is a waterfowl or a swimming bird. It has a short neck and short legs whose feet are Webbed.

Fact about duck

• Ducks have good vision
• A female duck is called a hen
• A male duck is called a drake
• A baby duck is called a duckling
• ducks have waterproof feathers
• ducks are omnivorous animals
• There are different species of duck

Benefit of duck to man

• Source of food (protein)
• Source of income.
• Ducks help in pest control

Now my drawing

Materials used for drawing

• Plain A4 paper
• Pencils
• Colours
• Eraser
• Sharpener

Step 1
I began my drawing from the beak (mouth) of the duck. After the beak, I drew the nostril and then the crown down to the neck. I also drew the eye at this stage

Step 2
I drew the body of the duck beginning from the back down to the tail and also from the breast (chest), abdomen and the under tail coverts

Step 3
I drew one of the legs from the shank down to the web and to the toe

Step 4
I drew the second leg beginning from the shank down to the web and the toe.

Step 5
Here I began the shading of the duck. I used yellow and brown colours to shade the beak, red colour and pençil to shade the nostrils and then brown colour on the head.

Step 6
I shaded the eye at this stage with a 12B pencil and an orange colour. Again, I shaded the head more with brown colour and I added a touch of black using a 12B pencil.

Step 7
I shaded the legs of the duck using yellow, brown and orange colours. I then used a 12B pencil to shade the nails of the toes.

*Step 8"
I shade the entire body of the duck using brown colour leaving part of the tail as white.

Step 9
I shaded the feathers using a 12B pencil, orange, brown and purple colour.

Step 10
I darkened the shading of the duck and added a touch of black to the lower part of the body which brought me to the end of my drawing.
