This has been on my to do list for a while, it's just been something I felt was quite difficult to accomplish. I decided it was time to tackle this challenge and I couldn't be happier that I did. Behold Hewy, Dewey and Louie in Droey's Draws style!
Despite three of them being triplets, I wanted to make the head designs more diverse. I picked three shapes to suit the ducks, Hewy got a square, Dewey a circle while Louis and Webby have arches at different angles. Webby was originally going to get a squared head but it wasn't working. Her design is now the closest to the official design out of the four ducks as a result.
The bodies start off as a typical Droey's Draws style body, but are given circular hips to which the tail is added at the back and then some duck feet drawn in a style resembling the stilts used in the children's book 'Elmer on Stilts'. A strange reference for DuckTales content but it works nicely. The only part of the design that is a direct match to the official designs are the beaks, which otherwise I would have had a great struggle with.
There is a great absence of black in this piece, simply because I fancied using my coloured ballpoints to outline the ducks. The eye colours were going to be black but I felt like giving them their token colours instead simply because it would look more interesting than black eyes. There is also a great absence of necks, Dewey was the only design intended not to have a neck but it ended up being just Hewy who had a neck!
Have you drawn the Disney Ducks lately? I'd be interested to see how you've interpreted them, and if you stuck with either TV incarnation or give them an original twist!
