A tan cap, thick-rimmed glasses, and a green jacket mark Gyro Gearloose as the resident inventor of the DuckTales 2017 cast, and this step-by-step tutorial walks through how to draw Gyro Gearloose with the flat color style of the reboot. The gesture pose adds a bit of life to the finished drawing without overcomplicating the construction.
What Makes This Sketch Work
The tutorial runs 15 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so the guide covers both linework and the flat color fills the show is known for. Gyro is a tall, slender anthropomorphic duck, which means vertical proportions and a relatively small head relative to the body length are things to watch from the very first construction lines. The gestured hand adds some asymmetry that takes a bit of patience to land correctly.
Gyro Gearloose: Design Breakdown
- Tall slender duck with white feathers
- Black-rimmed glasses, yellow beak
- Green jacket, brown vest, pink bow tie
- Small tan cap on top of head
- Brown pants, dark brown shoes
If you are working through the DuckTales 2017 roster, Donald Duck (2017) and Magica De Spell are solid next picks since they share the same flat-color reboot style. The pre-teen Donald Duck sketch is worth a look too if you want a slightly different body proportion challenge from the same series.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
