Diggory Duck

You are about to start drawing the one and only Diggory Duck!

Head: The head is a large hexagon. In the middle of the hexagon is an oval. Through the middle of the oval is a black line around five mm thick. On the top half of the oval with the black line through the middle are two black lines on each side facing inward. This shape should look like a beak. Above the beak are two eyes looking at the beak. On the top left corner of the head is a semi-circle. On the bottom of the semi-circle is an oval shaped line. This shape should look like a hat. The head is covered with black lines ranging from a centimeter to an inch long.

Body: For a neck, a square is placed under the bottom line of the head. Under that is a hexagon. On the top lines of the hexagon are two more hexagons. Everything is traced in black. The body also has black lines ranging from one centimeter to an inch long.

We hope it was fun recreating Diggory Duck.

We think that Ashley and Wendy did an astounding job recreating Diggory Duck!! They did great drawing Diggory’s hat. Despite the colors, the shape was almost perfect. We should’ve explained that  mm stands for millimeter and that the lines that were 5 mm long were all over. Ashley and Wendy also did beautifully on the eyes. They really made the eyes look cross-eyed which is we meant by “looking at the beak.” The beak was good and bad at the same time. Because the beak was the hardest part of the body, they did wonderfully. There were a few differences, though. If Ashley and Wendy had rotated the beak a tiny bit it would have been almost perfect except for the lines facing inward were in the same area. The neck’s superbly perfect. It was in exactly the right place. We forgot  to explain about the colors. Also we should’ve explained where the wings were better. Diggory Duck was expertly recreated!
