If you’re looking for something simple and fun to sketch, this guide on how to draw ducklings following a mother duck is a great place to start. The drawing is beginner-friendly and broken down into 19 steps. It’s a clean, side-view layout that shows a mother duck in the lead and four little ducklings walking in a row behind her. This kind of scene works great as a standalone sketch or as part of a larger nature illustration.
Duck Family Drawing: What to Focus On
- One large duck in front, facing left, leading the group
- Four smaller ducklings following behind, all in the same walking pose
- Each bird has a simple round body and small beak
- Feet positioned to show movement
- Wings drawn with just a few smooth lines
Once you get this group down, you might want to try drawing other animals like a rooster rockstar, a cute baby bunny, or even a realistic emu.

The tutorial uses a color-coded guide to make each step easier to follow:
