How to draw Della Duck

A metal peg leg, goggles pushed back on white hair, and a jacket worn from years of survival give Della Duck a look unlike anyone else in the DuckTales 2017 roster, and this guide walks through how to draw Della Duck from her explorer outfit up. She is one of the more layered characters to sketch because the gear and prosthetic add real structural detail that goes beyond a standard cartoon duck figure.

What Goes Into Drawing Della’s Explorer Look

The tutorial runs 16 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so the walkthrough covers both construction and color choices. The three-quarter stance with arms raised adds mild asymmetry to the figure, and the prosthetic leg on the right side needs careful placement to read correctly. Most of the detail work lands in the upper body: the scarf, jacket, goggles, and hair all come together before the legs and peg get resolved.

Della’s Key Visual Features

• Long white hair with goggles resting on head
• Duck bill, determined forward expression
• Brown jacket, teal scarf, brown gloves
• Metal prosthetic peg leg on right side
• Three-quarter stance, both arms raised

If you are working through the DuckTales 2017 character set, Gizmo Duck offers a good armor-and-gear challenge, while Webby Vanderquack and Selene round out the lineup with their own distinct silhouettes worth practicing.
