How to Draw a Rubber Duck

Drawing a rubber duck is a simple task for a beginner drawer. The head and body are made up of basic circular shapes, making it easy to plan out the drawing before getting into the details. Little shading is needed as rubber ducks are made of rounded plastic and have a cartoonish look.

Difficulty: Easy
