Glasses pushed up to his forehead and a bow tie that means business, Ghost Duckworth carries the look of someone perpetually unimpressed, and this step-by-step tutorial walks through how to draw Ghost Duckworth from the DuckTales 2017 roster in clean line art. The 11-step guide keeps things focused on the figure itself with no background to navigate around.
A Supporting Character Worth Getting Right
The tutorial runs 11 steps from rough skeleton to finished line art, ending without a color pass so the emphasis stays entirely on getting the proportions and clothing structure right. Ghost Duckworth is a tall, slim figure in formal wear, which means the challenge is less about complex shapes and more about keeping the silhouette clean and the dress clothes readable at every stage of the sketch.
Key Design Features to Keep in Mind
- Anthropomorphic dog, long snout and floppy ears
- Suit jacket with a bow tie at collar
- One hand on hip, other raised to chin
- Tall slim build in dress pants and shoes
- Glasses resting on top of head
If you are working through the DuckTales 2017 cast, Huey Duck and Flintheart Glomgold are solid companions to this one. For another formally dressed character from the same show, the Dewey Duck (2017) walkthrough is worth checking out too.
What the Step Colors Mean in This Tutorial
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
